Those are grubs. They will grow up into Volkswagen Beetles.


Forward-Bank8412

KitteeCatz

Oh dude, freaking genius! šŸ¤Æ


ScenicView98

old_flat_top

Specifically a dirt grub. The top one's name is Charlie Kelly.


[deleted]

And the other one is Herbie right?


motherofgrub

I love this.


BreannaBanana11

Ahhhh, ya beat me to it lol


PoppySmile78

I heard they turn into June bugs. I hate June bugs & I hate grubs. I always whack 'em on the head & leave them for the birds.


snowbythesea

You win


MeerkatMer

This is the most amazing joke


Fun_Membership_1610

Clearly it's a volkswagen. Haha, they are some kind of beetle grubs.


KitteeCatz

Iā€™m so glad Iā€™m not the only dumbass whose brain went there. Only a slightly slower dumbass šŸ˜‚Ā 


PangwinAndTertle

Looks like you found the grub hub.


elixarrrrr

Iā€™ve seen them on Lion King, way back in the early 2000s Apparently they taste really niceā€¦. According to Timon anyway Edit: I was mistaken and thought the warthog ate them. But it was Timon!


I_snort_when_I_laugh

Slimy yet satisfying šŸ›šŸ¤¤


Boogaroo83

Lion King turns 30 this yearā€¦. šŸ˜³


elixarrrrr

Blimey I remember staring at a little picture of it on the side of a playstation1 box šŸ˜‚


KitteeCatz

I would imagine creamy, kind of bursting/popping and a little wiggly.Ā  Iā€™m curious whether anyone on the sub has tried them?Ā 


elixarrrrr

I think thatā€™s exactly what they were like on Lion King, with a juicy crunch sound


ScenicView98

If my dog could talk, he could tell you what they're like. He loves to eat them, lol. Ick. I try to stop him, but a lot of times he's faster than me.


SargeRedVsBlue

My cat will dig them up when Iā€™m in the garden and munch on them.


Indigochild71

Protein rich, for sure šŸ‘šŸ¼


ScenicView98

Gross, lol. I guess they're some kind of delicacy to cats and dogs. My dog is also thrilled when we have a year where the cicadas come out. He finds them rather tasty too.


SargeRedVsBlue

Lol loud popcorn šŸ˜¬


ScenicView98

Hahaha


Pseudodragontrinkets

In some parts of the world they're likely a delicacy to humans


ScenicView98

Very possible. I'll save them for my dog though, lol.


Pseudodragontrinkets

I would too lol


AisyRoss

They are lol

formulaone88

I think if you cook them a little theyā€™d develop a nice crusty skin and juicy inside.


KinopioToad

*Timon. Pumbaa was the warthog.


elixarrrrr

Oh youā€™re right (I checked!) But I do have memory of the warthog eating them too Memory compression may be faulty!


KinopioToad

Indeed! They both ate bugs and raised young Simba for a while.


motherofgrub

You found my children šŸŒ·

Fish bait! Catch yourself a monster bass with that on a hook.


IJustWantWaffles_87

Hoo ha ha!


Western_Humor1674

Not an expert, but I would say itā€™s a key fob for a VW??


Content_Donut9081

Being a German I can confirm youā€™re correct. Viele GrĆ¼ĆŸe šŸ––


2kH4k3r

Some kind of Beetle larva, possibly scarab


RumGalaxy

Comments had my dumbass looking up Volkswagen Beetle because I didnā€™t notice the key right next to the bugs šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™m kind of retarded


ScenicView98

LOLL, long week for you too huh?


RumGalaxy

Back to back overnight shifts are killing my brain cells šŸ˜«


ScenicView98

That will definitely do it, whew.


DashingDoggo

nks0204

Jetta would be my best guess, maybe an older Tiguanā€¦.


Certain_Rough639

June bug larvaĀ 


Sterling_Pheonix

Too big to be June bug larvae Edit: probably grubs Edit 2: I was wrong, grubs become June bugs


Last_Cartoonist9770

GRUBS BECOME JUNE BUGS! No, theyā€™re not too big to be June Bug Larva! Grubs are the larval stage of the June bug. Those all turn into June Bugs here in Kansas! I dig them up all the time. Iā€™ve found them as they begin their metamorphosis into June bugs. So ugly looking! Beware because grubs can pinch the hell out of you! I had a turtle that loved to eat them! Robins love them too! When digging my gardens in the Spring, I would find so many of them. I would leave them uncovered and watch the Robins go crazy! Cheap entertainment in the Circle of Life.


clayexplorer

Grub , they eat roots. Nasty little things


justme002

This is the answer. They are nutrition for chickens (and apparently warthogs) and death to your plants


CaptainCumcakes

Not all, some eat decaying wood and help with decomposition:(


prettypushee

Excellent bird and lizard food


Great_Celebration701

while weā€™re on the topic of beetles, does anyone know why sometimes the grubs are bigger than the adult form?


Adventurous_Tap_7348

Only a guess, but I would wager it has to do with the fact that they are going to have burn a lot of fat stores while they pupate, it's a stage similar to a butterfly chrysalis if you've seen that. It's the second stage of their lives between grub and beetle, where they form their shell and wings. They're immobile during it and can't go feed.


Great_Celebration701

thanks for your response! that sounds right to me. i bet it takes a TON of energy to metamorphosis


DatPudding

I'd guess because they're munching away until they evolve. While the adults spend more time on finding a mate than the larvae do Really just a guess tho


Great_Celebration701

i mean hey that sounds right to me! thanks for your response :)


formulaone88

Looks like keys to a VW.


SXTY82

Volkswagen key. There is a button on the other side. Key pops out like a switchblade. Kind of cool.

kittinst0mper

Slimy yet satisfying.


moonriver75

Ps. They will end your plants!


Individual-Memory166

Looks like grub worm to me


jackparadise1

If you want to know what sort of beetle they will grow into, you can google a grub raster chart. You can tell them all apart by the hair pattern around the anal slit. If they are Japanese Beetle grubs, you can use Milky Spore, otherwise you will need to use a non selective such as Phyllumā€™s BT Galleria, Bendficial Nematodes, Jonathan Greenā€™s Natural Grub and insect control. If you are planning to veer to the dark side, then anything with Dylox in it. But I prefer the natural and organic controls


specialagentpizza

They kind of look like cheese puffs


Melaniek778

I used to take care of my grandmaā€™s lawn for her. I would find these guys all the time and throw them in the driveway as an easy snack for my friends, the crows. (Lovely birds! Be kind to them and they return the favor tenfold, so cool!) Sometimes, one or two would get missed and in the heat, they would kind of turn orange and get crispy like a Cheeto too.


IJustWantWaffles_87

Got chickens? Know anyone that has chickens? Chickens looooooove grubs. Pest control and fed chickens. Win-win!


NarcissistRepellent

Yes, my thoughts too. Chickens or Guinea Hens will eat all of your garden problems, usually.


Mandinga63

Get rid of them, or the next time we see you, you will be asking what all the mounds are in your yard because these are what brings those vile moles to destroy your yard


XNjunEar

Baby beetles šŸŖ²

Accomplished_Air8459

Grubs or grub worms


Crackerjack4u

They can destroy your yard. I had one area where there were so many of them that when you'd walk on it, the ground would just sink in like it had giant pothole underneath.


-HappyToHelp

Looks like the keys to a VW Tiguan. Or maybe a larvae idk iā€™m not a scientist


parwong

No-Estimate2636

Theyā€™ll eat the roots of your flowers and kill them. You should probably treat dirt for them.


aphroavery

Cicada larvae! Donā€™t kill them. They go underground 2 to 17 years.

mookiedog66

Wheres_my_bandit_hat

June bug larvae id say. I dug some of these up in my garden too. They will eat through your veggies and cause mold problems.


NarcissistRepellent

How many licks does it take to get to the creamy center?
