Suninfrance Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 That sounds a bit cruel, but I found these grubs in the bottom of my flower pots when I was getting rid of the dead summer daisies and re-planting with pansies.They are either the Rose Schafer (I think I may have spelt that wrong), or the stag beetle. I've looked at Chris P's website, but still not sure which one it is.Any clues anyone????[IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/suninfrance/P1070227.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buelligan Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It looks like a Vine Weevil larva to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It looks more like my mother in law.....(Stag Beetle if it's the thickness of your thumb - put it in your compost bin - we have millions of vine weevils at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Here's another view. In all I retrieved about 20 of them from the bottom of one pot. Just left them there and planted my pansies in new compost over the top.[IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/suninfrance/P1070228.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
