This is indeed a larva of a beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. Collectively known as 'white grubs', some can be very serious turf pests when the feed on roots of grasses. Those found in garden soil include species (such as in the genus Cotinis) that feed primarily on decomposing organic matter. Nevertheless, turning over the soil so that birds can find the larvae may be a good idea.
