Grub growth evidence - Osmoderma eremicola
Hudson, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 28, 2006
Here are some more outgrown skins of beetle larvae. It looks like my batch of probable Osmo*dermas is thriving on puppy chow.

I refrained from clone-stamping the dirt specks off this image in PhotoShop. One reason is that many of the specks are mites that have moved in to feed on the discarded skins.
