Cockchafer Larva
Photo: G. Bradley |
|
The larvae are white with a brown head, and equipped with a strong pair of pincers for chewing through roots. The black area at the tail end is a fermentation chamber which helps the larvae to digest their food.
If you pick one up it might make a squeaking sound. This is done by rubbing a row of pegs on its hind legs against its middle legs.
