I can't tell you exactly what grubs they are, but they are not iris borers
way ahead of their time. I'm in southern CT and I have not had a hatch in
my yard yet. The young larvae are very small, bore into the leaf and mine
their way to the rhizome where they grow over the next two months into the
big icky things they are. So if you are seeing grubs now, they are likely
to be not borers.
