Huhu grubs in the Ngunguru beach sand!

Ever seen a huhu grub? I haven't, but I've seen them on TV. They are supposed to be found in rotted logs. You can eat them raw or cooked, although I haven't done that either.

So imagine our surprise when we were digging in the Sand at Ngunguru beach the other day, and found a huhu grub! Happily alive, living in the sand. So we kept on digging, and found 10 more, before we decided we had enough. We planned to bring them home and cook them, but during the course of the next hour or two they started turning black so we decided against it. I guess you're supposed to cook them straight away.

I took a photo, just to prove we had really found huhu grubs!
