Vine weevil quite small 10mm normally found in pots or under strawberries. You'll know cos you just lift a plant off the soil and the roots will have been eaten!
They are more likely to be chaffer grubs that you found. They are the larvae of the Maybugs. Also eat roots and are common in unbroken grassland. There are cople of equally ugly different sorts. The way to catch them is to leave and overturned turf on the bed and they will collect underneath. Then leave them on a bit of plastic for the birds ..they just love them.
