Southern Masked Chafer Larva
Phyllophaga crinita (larva)
This creamy white grub lives beneath lawns, pastures, and other grassy soil. It tunnels through the root zone and feeds on the roots of grasses and other plants, sometimes causing brown patches of dying turf. Its body curls into a characteristic C-shape when disturbed.
