| | scarab larvae, scarab grubs | Explanation:
The terms "bicho bolo", "coró", and "pão-de-galinha" apply to ANY beetle larva of the huge family Scarabaeidae (60,000+ species described). You can refer to them using the general terms "scarab larvae" (plural: the singular is larva) or "scarab grubs". This is from my own experience, after having taught college Entomology courses for over 18 years. |
