Close-up of a Larva

Captured in a clear close-up, this image showcases a larva, often referred to as a grub, distinctly curled into its typical C-shape. Its plump, segmented body is a creamy white, with noticeable dark spots lining its sides, which are the spiracles used for respiration. The larva's well-defined head is a darker, reddish-brown color, and it features multiple pairs of short, sturdy, reddish-orange legs. The end of its body appears somewhat translucent, hinting at its internal structure. This view gives an excellent perspective on the common features of a beetle larva.
