These seemed to be more common in Suffolk than this area. They call them 'Billy Withes' down there. Quite large, and they can land on your shoulder quite easily!!! Absolutely harmless, so don't kill them, they also have a roll in life.  http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bi...mp;ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1067&bih=484

I found loads ofthe grubs of these when pulling out grasses by the roots in a patch that hadnt been touched for years. Apparently they can decimate lawns and eat some plant roots. So - it depends where you find them as to whether theyre a problem or not. They are fascinating to dig up and have a good look at. Couple of inches long at full size some of them. I imagine great bird food , so we need some around. The conventional chemical control, can harm birds and other creatures - if you need to get rid of them , try biological warfare! http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEATHERJACKET-KI...words=nematodes
