Very basic question, I\'m sure... I was planting a shrub and came across a whole lot of these guys. Grubs, I assume -- but what kind, how bad are they, and how best to combat them? I\'m open to both organic and non-organic solutions (at the risk of being judged ;- ) Overall, soil is pretty healthy, and many things are doing just fine. But my shrubs are a little hit or miss (pieris/andromeda, kalmia/mountain laurel, and azalea). Thanks for suggestions!
