I always thought those big white larvae (grubs) were also called cutworms, 
and all are the young June bugs. Gardens Alive! catalog (which I can't find 
at present) says that there are two bugs similar, the Japanese carpet 
beetle and an ? Iridescent beetle? that, actually, if you eliminate the 
June bug (Japanese beetle) grub, the other one is more voracious, and 
damaging.
They do sell an organic product made from cornmeal that seems to work on 
these insects overall. But, is anyone more up on what's what?
