Grub's Up

As Ed walked past one of our large pine trees, he spotted something odd on the ground. It was a huge grub of some sort.


Poor Ed. He just wanted to get rid of it, but no, I made him hang on to it, while I fetched the camera! Further investigation revealed that this was actually the grub of a rhino beetle. We get loads of those here. (In fact, today, I fished one out of the swimming pool.)

What a horrible looking thing. I'm glad I didn't find it.
