Grub
by: Moni

Kayla
Your picture is of a grub as Gary suggests. This is the c-shaped larva of a beetle in the Scarabaeidae family. The grubs usually are in the soil feeding on plant roots, tho some feed on dung, or organic matter like dead trees.
Depending on where you found it, may help determine if it is a pest or just a helpful decomposing insect. Many scarab grubs can be identified by the raster patterns on the tail end looking from the underside. If you want a better ID you will need to send more information about where you found it, how big it is, what growth or plants are nearby, and perhaps a photo of the tail end from the underside.
The color of you photo shows it as red...not a normal color for a grub.
