Grubs are gross, but I thought you still might like to see the video. Enjoy?

Dive! Dive!
Yesterday, we planted fruits, veggies and herbs in our raised beds. Before doing so, we combed the dirt for grubs and found quite a few. I noticed an interesting behavior in them - they had an uncanny ability to bury themselves quickly. I took a video of it. The grub manages to get almost completely underground in less than 10 seconds. Interestingly, it leaves a bit of its tail above ground, perhaps because it doesn't know that part is still sticking up.

Man. Even if we dug up a grub this time of year, it wouldn't be moving *that* fast. I suppose your soil temperature is well above 70 degrees?
I like the little woodlouse-ish critters that are also crawling around. Your soil is certainly not dead!
Woodlouses? I think not. Their Latin name is rolius polius.
;-)
Yeah, the soil and the air were in the 70s this week.
