| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly profiles the Tasmanian grass grub (Aphodisu tasmaniae). Describes the grub, also known as the black headed pasture cockchafer, as 10 to 12 millimeters long and "dark brown to black, and shiny." States that "the damage caused by this species is typically in the form of patches of bare soil, which appear from autumn to late winter. These can be small areas only 100mm [millimeter] in diameter on lawns or bowling greens, or extensive areas of pasture from which all the 'useful' grasses and legumes have been stripped." |
