I should have said - young beetles look totally different to the adults. They can be curl grubs e.g. Adoryphorus coulonii (Redheaded pasture cockchafer) or these shiny 'worms' e.g. Coleoptera (order) immature (Unidentified immature beetle) or an 'alien monster' e.g. Lycidae (family) (Net-winged beetle) or leaf eating 'grubs' e.g. Paropsis atomaria (Eucalyptus leaf beetle) and oodles more. When beetle larvae pupate they emerge as a fully grown beetle (like butterflies and moths also do)
Brachypeplus sp.
