"a soft thick wormlike larva of an insect (as a beetle)"

One pictures him with beetling brows turning over stumps and lifting roots!

1. the thick-bodied, sluggish larva of several insects, as of a scarab beetle.
2. a dull, plodding person; drudge.
3. an unkempt person.
4. Slang.food; victuals.


It is all so fitting that he claims the grub for his own!
