A few years back . . . grubs destroyed my newly planted backyard lawn. The grass would pull up quite easily, in large patches. My only analogy is . . . a cartoon man removing his toupee.
But Now! . . . I found grubs in some good (well amended) soil. How can this be? Nothing for them to eat?
TIA,
Kathi
Grubs found where nothing was growing???
They might be entirely different species - not all 'white grubs' (larvae of scarb beetles) fed on grass roots; some will feed on organic matter in the soil. See http://www.sdnhm.org/fieldguide/inverts/coti-mut.html for an example.
