She's claiming they deliberately evert their stomachs, so as to better spread the glutinous black filth. Another has arrived since this post.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Melanie, if it is indeed Melanie, for the useful pointer. It's easier to endure such abominations, if you have a name for them, but I can't find anything about curl grubs turning black like Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240781173459676515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367839961931530504.post-28333932136932612732008-08-29T12:02:00.000+10:002008-08-29T12:02:00.000+10:00Wow, that lip mirror is fantastic.

And i thought to myself "surely Sam wouldnt".. but maybe he would LOL.. And now Im focused, I would swear that was a bardi grub (aka the witchetty grub) except they are usually squishy white, not black.

It's a lawn grub, not sure if it's the same one my cats bring in, but they bring in white ones that turn black when they die, and if you get the black stuff on light carpet, it doesn't come out.
