The family Scarabaeidae beetles or scarabs or scarab beetles vary considerably in habits, with many species feeding on manure or on decomposing plant materials, others on growing roots or leaves, and a few on fungi. These beetles are one of the most popular families with insect collectors because of the large size and beautifully coloured, hard, highly polished forewings of many species. White grubs are larvae of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae). White grubs are creamy white, medium to large, with a distinct brown head capsule, C-shaped body with prominent legs and a slightly enlarged abdomen. Scarabs have long life cycles, typically 1-4 years. Species that are potato pests cut roots and stems and make large, clean, shallow circular surface wounds in tubers. Infestations are usually worse when potatoes are planted in weedy fields or fields previously in sod. White grubs have become increasingly troublesome in Asia and Central America since the phasing out of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides. Major pest genera in India include Anomala spp. and Melolontha spp. In the Americas, Phyllophaga is the most economically important genus. A Scarab beetle larva or White grub is running across the yard at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 10/08/2023.

This was only the first meeting, let's see how the things shape up," Thackeray told reporters.

PETA model Katie Doherty from Co.Kerry, covered by an ostrich "corpse" and carrying an handbag-shaped sign, during PETA protest against the use of exotic skins in fashion accessories in front of Hermes widow outside Dublin's Brown Thomas store. The action comes on the heels of PETA's release of the first-ever exposé of the highly secretive industrial ostrich-slaughter industry, where young ostriches are kept in barren dirt feedlots until they are trucked to abattoirs. There, the 1-year-old ostriches are turned upside down in a stunner, are ejected to have their throats slit, and have their feathers plucked out, creating the bumpy-textured or "goose bump" skin used in Birkin and Prada bags and other "luxury" goods. Dublin, Ireland, on Thursday, 21 April 2016.
