Re: A grub in the garden


We find these grubs in our compost pile all the time, they break down the woody bits. They are disgusting (I think,) but we give them to the chickens to eat, the chickens find them delightful.

I told her to take it to the LA County Arboretum, but I'll bet you anything the whole lot of the interlopers are in the trash by now. So, any help appreciated.
