Identity, or anything about its life history. All they are in terested in is how many fish they can catch, , with a white grub on the hook. To the gardener, the white grub means a certain amount of trouble, depending on the total number and kind. I They, the grubs, eventually will turn into beetles or moths. In the transition period, under ground,: the grub will build about itself, , a crude white web or cocoon of sorts which will be strengthened with bits of chewed up leaves and dirt. Then it will go to sleep and a few. weeks later, will emerge from the earth as a beetle. Comes From Grub ..' The Japanese beetle comes from a grub that looks a great deal, like others of like nature. and in assorted sizes. The large, white : grUbs are the forerunners of the so-called stag beetle. They all hatch from eggs," The larvae ' Im mediately buries , itself deep in the earth. As . the season progresses and it grows larg er, it will move slowly toward the surface, eating as it goes, The skin that covers the rear end of the body is very thin and transparent, and shows a dark material within, which actually Is earth the grub has swallowed. From, the soil is digested the , organic matter that fattens the grub,, , v j At different stages of its development, the 'grub stops eating for intervals, curls up In a ball to rest. When feed ing, or moving near the sur face, they fall prey to hungry birds, who sit perfectly still on the ground and listen for the worm-stirrings under their feet. Underneath the fore part of the grub's body are six legs, which later will be the legs of the adult beetle. There are no legs on the rear end. so this section must be drag ged along, like a trailer. Along the sides of the body are dark spots, that look like portholes in a ship. i These will later become breathing tubes' In the adult, The grub has a well-devel oped head, that appears to be attached . to a . short stubby neck. The grub has two bright little eyes, and a strong mouth with powerful cutting jaws.v If the white grub escapes his 'three.' greatest , enemies, birds, the industrious garden er or the fisherman; It will stuff Its cream colored body as full of food as a drum, go to sleep and awake later to crawl from the earth as a hard shelled- beetle - a mem ber of the most numerous family of insects on the face of this earth, ' ; ; ; ,:, HEAVY HAUL Mai-Ion,' Ind.-IUPD-Poll'ce ' at Marion and Jasper, Ind., have started an . investigation into the baffling case of the miss ing manhole covers.
