Howzat? Just trying to figure out what these things are.

No, haven't seen _any_ beetles in our garden at all in the ten-or-so 
years we've been here. Spiders, yes--some very impressive ones. Moths, 
yes. But no beetles. And NEVER saw grubs this big before, not anywhere 
I've lived (NJ, WA, OR, AZ, NC).
