My first association was Scarabaeidae larvae, mostly because Cockchafers/Maybugs were going extinct in my youth (thanks, DDT!), and finding a few of those grubs somehow became a core memory of mine. :)
Careful, they bite. Hard. And they may be a pest, unfortunately, depending on species. Don't pin me down on that, though, I'm not even close to being an expert.

@Gyroplast@furry.engineer That’s such a beautiful core memory 😊🌱 I really appreciate you sharing it. We’re also learning a lot from these little creatures through our garden and farming work at YECI. I’d love to hear more about what you’ve learned over the years, especially how you see them and their role in healthy soil. 🌍🐛
