grub - Osmoderma
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
September 21, 2013
Size: ~50mm - est.
I found several of these large grubs under the bark of a dead tree which had been been uprooted by a storm earlier this summer. I took several photos and then covered them up again with the bark. Wondering if this could be the grub of a Giant Stag Beetle.
