This summer I have been watching the green fruit beetles dive bomb my own garden. Last month I found one in the soil with just its head in the soil and its rear end sticking up. I knew it was going to (or had) laid some eggs so I dug around and was amazed to find hundreds of grubs of various sizes already developing.
This is about 1 square foot.See http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/GARDEN/FRUIT/PESTS/grfruitbeetle.htmlfor more information about the green fruit beetle.
I collected a bunch and put them in a tray with some soil. Watch what happens when I shake the tray and about 7 seconds later.
