Are these bad or good worms ?

Are these bad or good worms ?

I have no idea what they are they almost look like they are in the pupae stage. Dug out of the ground?? If so, I’d be wondering I’d they were immature tomato worms.

Those look like grub worms. They can wreak havoc on a root system. If they become June bugs, they're a nuisance. If they become Japanese beetles they are really horrible for leafy plants. Kill them all.

Yeah they did not look like anything good to me. I’ve never seen them though. But I’m obsessed with tomato worms because I’m obsessed with tomatoes. I thought they would turn green and crawl up the plants to munch them. Lol

Yeah, those are grubs, not worms. Squish them when you see them or treat the soil with milky spore disease or beneficial nematodes.

Shouldn't you at first try reasoning with them?

Grub worms. Bad for your lawn. They become Japanese beetles. Especially bad for your Roses.

Those are grub worms, never ate any so i can not say if they are good or bad, maybe someone else can tell you.

 

[Kenny'sID]

Ask them if they'd like to go fishing with you?

 

[Michie]

I’ve done that with catalpa worms.

I’ve done that with catalpa worms.

Anything like that will work. I think grubs are more popular for fishing due to availability.

Catfish love catalpa worms. I’ve never used a grub worm. But obviously I do not know one when I see one. I do now though!

Take a bite and find out. I heard only the heads taste bad.

 

[Rene Loup]

I don't know, but looks like it has plenty of protein...

 

[Under One King]

Those are grubs. Kill them on the spot.

Uh, oh, the grubs are no longer safe.

"Grubs eventually turn into adult Beetles and emerge from soil to mate and lay eggs. Most Scarab Beetles have a one-year life cycle; June Beetles have a three-year cycle."

I’ve seen the beetles but never the worm.

They look like beetle larvae. I dig them up from time to time. I understand that they feed on roots but they do not seem to do any serious damage.

 

[Michie]

Speaking of beetles... I like them in paper weights.

I'll buy beneficial nematodes just for the soil. Will get rid of the grubs.
