Strategus aloeus
I can't believe that people haven't been able to identify this larva! It's a Strategus aloeus, which u can tell by looking at the size and color of head capsule.

I was wondering...
why the image appeared again! Now I see that you replaced one of your earlier images with this one that might be more helpful in identification.

New here
Sorry i am new to this site and still learning the way to add images. I have many pics but was unable to upload multiple pics at the same time till someone in the forum showed me the way. Anyway, no one has been able to identify exactly what species of beetles these grubs are. Ox beetles are probably the best guess for now! It is huge and should be a L3 grubs and hopefully pupate soon.
