What kind of bug is this? How do I get rid of it?

Grubs

Milky Spore Disease is being marketed as an effective "bio-pesticide" for white grubs. This may not work in your area, and it is specifically for a certain species of beetle larvae. Before investing in MSD to control grubs, contact the Extension Service in your county to determine whether MSD has been tested on the species of grubs in your area. Also, find out whether soil conditions in your area will support the propagation of the disease pathogen. MSD is an expensive treatment. You need to know your chances of success before trying it.
