BIG insects in my compost

They are usually about the size of a human thumb. how can you tell what kind of beetle they're from just from that description? most grubs look pretty similar to me in person, let alone in text. just curious... -kelly I don't know of any other grub which is as large as was described and it is a very common grub found in healthy compost piles. So, I suppose I knew by process of elimination of the smaller beetle grubs, commonly found also in either compost piles (beneficial) or eating roots of turfgrass (not beneficial). |
