Yeah I used to get those suckers in when digging over my vegie patch,the local maggies would mill around my feet pretty much waiting for one to be unearthed ,one in paricular would get the grub and fly up to the nest feed it to the babies then come back down wanting more,they would go na nas for them,oh and those grubs bite like :c if your not careful.

Witchetty's (Bardis) are a much bigger beast and found in a totally different environment - the body segments are also distinctly thicker...http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://25.media.tumblr.com/0UNbchwcco5atpzm00VxIRPXo1_500.jpg&imgrefurl=http://asunburntcountry.tumblr.com/post/115758912/idledays-the-raw-witchetty-grub-tastes-like&h=280&w=420&sz=14&tbnid=1e0sH4yVVGogDM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwitchetty%2Bgrub%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=witchetty+grub&docid=Ut1pY1U_Rk4pzM&sa=X&ei=wox5T4yhLuHZigfmyNXuBA&ved=0CDcQ9QEwAg&dur=452Cheersaf
