    Can't see them clearly, but if they have chestnut coloured heads then they're vine weevil grubs and they're eating the roots of your plants.

    You can get rid of the little bu$$ers by applying the appropriate nematodes https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=234 .  You can buy them online -now is a god time to do it.

    Good luck image
