Default Anyone recognize this lawn bug?

I was mowing the lawn and stumbled on this beast. About an inch wide and
almost two inches long. I crushed it and a bunch of white eggs popped out.
Absolutely disgusting. You can see the hole it came out of on the bottom of
the picture.

It's some sort of bettle, not a lawn pest. It looks like a billbug,
which is a lawn pest, but it's too large to be one.

Sure looks like that's the name for it, enlarge that pic and we'd
have alien 5.

Looks like it may be a Giant Root Borer - lives near conifers, adults come
out of ground in mid-summer after the larvea have been feeding on bark
underground. There may be more of them in the hole.
