First time I've seen a grub above ground of its own volition.

Some kind of scarab beetle, like a june bug?

I don't know. I've only ever know them to be called lawn grubs and never thought about it. What you suggest sounds right.

I'm no expert, but I think most (all?) grubs are a stage of beetle development. Beetle lays eggs, eggs hatch into grubs, sometimes they go through a couple larger grub stages, grub becomes pupa, pupa becomes beetle.

I think the ones like that become June bugs or similar.
