I find these worms everywhere. In my soil, in the bark of dead tree limbs, some in my palm pots. I did a bit of research & closest thing I got was a root/ tree eating larva from moths!! But not to sure. I hope not... if anyone has any experience with these and could lend some advice/ how you got rid of them I would greatly appreciate it. 

I live in southern California, Hesperia to be exact.  In the High Desert if it helps any. 

I just hope there not harmful.  If there friendly, cool but if not I need to take them out asap!

My father in law is a farmer and last year we sprayed my property for the grubs. When the grubs come out of the ground here in early summer they eat all the leaves off our trees and stunts the trees. This year we had barely any damage. And yes there from Japanese beetles that are extremely invasive.
