Grubs in Veggie Garden #759825

Asked July 03, 2021, 2:35 PM EDT

Would you please identify this insect for me and make suggestions on how to get rid of it? (These grubs are in a cedar raised garden bed. The bed was just built this spring. The first, and only crop, growing in it has been lettuce.)

Hi Sally,

This looks like a bumble flower beetle. Harmless! Here's information on it: https://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/bspm/arthropodsofcolorado/Bumble-Flower-Beetle1.pdf
