From a gardener friend. Spread the word.

Put the poison spray away now.
“So, this is a curl grub. At this time of year you will find them in your garden near the surface, in the soil.
When it grows up, it will become a Christmas beetle.
Many other species of scarab beetles also start their life as a curl grub.
Around Christmas time, people will start posting comments about how there aren't many Christmas beetles around anymore, and here is why... everyone kills curl grubs!! �
Every nursery and hardware store sell curl grub killer and at this time of year, it is flying off the shelves... so why?
When I did my horticulture course, I was taught that because curl grubs ate the roots of plants, they needed to be killed, hence the poison.
I never did use the poison, but I certainly fed hundreds to the chickens and magpies.
Many years ago when I realised that the killing of curl grubs was causing a decline in Christmas beetles and other scarab beetles, I stopped feeding them to the chickens.
I now treat curl grubs as I do worms, if I dig them up to I tuck them back in. If I am worried about them eating the roots of a certain plant, then I tuck them back in somewhere it doesn't matter so much.
Now after years of doing this, my population is increasing, and I have plentiful Christmas beetles in December.
So, has this caused the death of plants in my garden?? �
Not one!!!
In fact my garden is healthier. My soil is certainly healthier as it is well aerated and carries a multitude of diverse critters and bugs.
In one fork full of soil, I could not count how many different species of bug, spider, leach and worm scuttle for cover.
All of these tiny critters have a valuable role to play in keeping soil healthy and balanced.
In the event that you do lose a plant to a curl grub chewing it's roots, it isn't the end of the world. At least you have healthy soil.
My prediction is that you would lose many more plants to unhealthy barren soil.
Please don't kill your grubs and bugs.
They may be tiny, but they are precious.
