Probably a beetle larvae of some sort, I had a few here when digging over my lettuce patch. If in doubt, try and Google images of beetle larvae and find a match, that normally works for me

If you google using the words "larvae garden pests" you can get plenty of images that will allow you to identify the culprit. In many cases larvae cause damage as they are voracious eaters.

Hi, thanks for your replies, I never thought of googling though a load of images of larvae made my flesh creep... I found out that they are called white grubs, they are the laravae of European chafers and can wreck a lawn.

Disgusting little monsters! It looks as if they also like ornamental plants and vegetables... quite voracious! Are there very many in your garden? What do you intend to do? Birds seem to love them.A few nests with hungry birdies may be the solution...

If they're the ones I'm thinking of, they're wonderful in your compost heap.
