I also had some unwelcome visitors --some larvae had burrowed up into my compost. I pulled over one hundred of them out while turning the pile and applying it to the garden. They would probably make great fish bait, but I have no plans on going fishing in the near future so they are currently living in a bucket of dirt in my garage. I will either use them as bait or feed the birds.

One of the visitors.
Bucket 'o Grubs.
The top-dressed future tomato bed.
The slightly cleaned-up bed with the oregano.
The long walk home.
The hydrangea are budding.

Rough post for me right after lunch. Grubs are one of the most loathsome things. Ugh!!
Put 'em out for the birds. They'll be gone before you know it.
Grubs... gross! Still glad it's spring though.
Amy and Jerry-
I didn't mean to gross anybody out. Just reporting the facts. The grubs will probably be on the bird's menu soon (and I will make sure not to post about it).
Wow, I'm glad I elected NOT to post a video of them...
John, Could have done without the picture of the grubs. Yuck!
But I have to admit you also made me laugh!
I honestly didn't think the grubs would gross everyone out. I thought it was interesting.
I'm glad about making you laugh. From the blog sidebar:

Binkley gets a thumbs up from me.
BInkley is a cool dude.
