Hundreds of Plump Grubs in Mulch are Chafer Beetle Larvae
“What type of grub do you think these are?” asks Pat in her submission regarding the dozens of plump, white, worm-like critters pictured below. “Hundreds in my mulch.” Well, despite the fact that Pat did not include that much context, we know exactly what these are based on the fantastic photo she sent us (which we thank her for). These guys are chafer beetle larvae/grubs. You cannot get more grub-like than a chafer beetle larva: they are the token grub (‘grub’ being a term that loosely refers to any larva of a beetle, but which has, over the years, started to refer specifically to beetle larvae of this appearance).
