Before I can identify them for you, I'm going to need you to eat one, and tell me how it tastes.
Describe in as much detail as possible, using as many WORDS as possible.
If they're bitter to the taste, dry, and gritty, then I can narrow it down to these over here.
If they're kind of sweet however, as well as moist, slimy, smooth and gooey, then they're all female. And they were in the process of reproduction,.for the sweet, somewhat salty, and slimy sheen you tasted covering their supple,fleshy outer skin was actually the semen from the males.

Now pop one of those bad boys in your month, chew, and describe in the name of science.

And when you're Gone, you stay Gone, or you be Gone. You lost all your Seven Cities privileges. - Karsa

you're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never, ever choose to be...

Even better. They may have picked up some extra flavor.

Jk, love. Those things are disgusting looking. I'd move.

If it helps, I know what the rocks are (mantle xenoliths, see google images), but are those bugs coming out when you crack 'em open?

Edit: horrible spelling mistake

They're actually not rocks at all, just hard-packed dirt. It's like they condensed the soil around their cocoons. They didn't move when I unearthed them either, just sat around like boogers.

If you are curious, I could recommend an exhaustive text on the Australian weevil fauna.

If it was my balcony, I'd be pretty confident we're talking about these little thingies. But in Australia, you never know... Are you having bad dreams lately...? Beause if you do, well... I heard that a Slake Moth infestation is quite difficult to deal with...

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

They're gonna eat your brains and take your knowledge!

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

were far too deeply buried to have been idly discarded in the pot. I suspect the roots of the azalea dragged them down into the gritty depths ... That would also explain the tiny bones littered amongst the grubs.

Probably a good thing I got rid of it...

You had an Azath house growing on you balcony?!? And you disposed of it?!?
My god. All those hundreds of thousands of dead people and it turns out all Icarium really needed was a shovel, broom, and trash bin. The tragedy.

Purging the unclean IS the best solution. Also what is up with Australia and weird creatures all over?
