Grub worms are actually Cicada larva that live underground for 7-13 years until they emerge as adult Cicadas, fly around for a couple of weeks, mate, lay their eggs, and then die.

We have lots of grub worms and they seem to like my bean pod plants best. Never had a problem with them eating flowers.
