I live in Southern California, found these grubs in damp soil at the base of a tree. 2.5cm length. Thought maybe Cotinis mutabilis, but it doesn’t crawl on its back. Has single anal slit, can’t tell a particular raster pattern. Could it be a Lucanid? Thanks!

It might be a stag beetle but it might be one of the small brown may beetles I live in SoCal and I see them all the time in the spring

Your home must have lot's of red rot wood if it were to be a Ceruchus which I'm interested in purchasing. 

Ceruchus aren't found in south CA

One of the scarab larvae that are difficult to ID without examining raster and few other characters. Many are considered lawn pests.
