However, the most common colors are black or brown. The larvae of beetles vary greatly in feeding habits, body shape, size and color.
Some species feed on leaves while other species feed on roots.
Some are elongate with relatively long legs and may be brightly colored while others, usually grubs , are robust, C-shaped and white with a brown head.
