Eat 'em. High in protein and they have a nutty flavor!
Actually I either boil them if there are still worm holes, or I cut the bowl down past the worm holes. We get some pretty big ones in Texas, up to 1/2" thick and a couple of inches long. Usually when they are that big the log is too far gone.

Stan, LDD will preserve them, but then you are in trouble with 'Worm-peace'. ;) Arch

Careful! ELF is listening in along with PETA. Your shop/altelier/garage/studio may suddenly burst into flames (after the wormy wood is removed, of course)!

aah, and jeff - when those texas sized worms metamorposize, what hatches out? hopefully not a beetle the size of the ones VW makes? I suppose you can drop them into tequila for flavor, but maaaannnn, that's one heck of a worm.

You're right Bill, they are huge grubs. The largest I've received were in hackberry/sugarberry. It spalts and rots easily and that is usually the cause of the tree's demise. I've seen a lot of beetles near the dead wood. These are large wood beetles - up to 3 inches long, with real long antennae. So I suspect they are the final product. They are an impressive insect.
