Large white grub in compost + black beetles?
I have discovered several large grubs in my compost. (Photo links
below.) As well as sometime slarge black beetles sitting on top of the compost lid (picture link also below). My compost doesn't have any meat or similar items, just green kitchen waste + gardening waste. Does anyone have any ideas what these could be and if they are related? Should I get rid of them or keep them? Thanks! Photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/simonmac...eat=directlink |
