I found this bug attached to a grass rhizome I was pulling out of my garden bed. It looks like there is some sort of moth in there.

A scarab or June beetle grub, family Scarabaeidae.

There are MANY species in that family, hard to tell who's who.

And it does look like something is inside of it. Could be a Tiphia wasp (a grub parasite).

Looks like a common grub worm, or cut-worm. It damages garden plants by cutting into the root stem below the soil surface.
