I am converting a lawn area to raised beds for vegetables. When I removed the grass and turned the soil over, I ran across these. They are about an inch long and in searching the forums, I think they might be some sort of beetle larvae? I have seen, less frequently, a couple beetles as well.

I am preparing the raised beds for vegetables next spring. Will they leave because the lawn is gone now? If not, will they harm my vegetables or are they the "good" pests?

And if they aren't, is there a way to get rid of them that doesn't involve hand picking (eew).

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
