I think that's a June bug grub.  I've been told they spend 3 years as a grub before turning into a june bug.

My guess for the hydrant is that it got damaged while backfilling with dirt or by frost pushing on it in winter.

Found three of these guys while digging in the island hydrant.. what is it?



My first thought was a hornworm in some more juvenile growth stage. (Because of the fake eyes next to each leg.) A short internet search leads me to think that's wrong, and hornworms don't have a grub stage. Sorry. Hopefully the false eyes help with the ID.
