All of the important species of white grubs in Texas have a one-year life cycle and spend about 10 months of that cycle in the ground. The life cycle of the Japanese beetle is typical for white grubs of importance in Texas. Eggs are laid in late June and early July, and larvae hatch out in July. These larvae feed on grass roots until cool weather arrives in October. In November the grubs burrow deeper into the soil to over winter.
If you have any risk factors for hepatitis C, then the next step is to test for it. Initial testing for hepatitis C has three parts. The first test, the HCV antibody test, sees if you have been exposed to the virus. The second test is the viral load test, and it detects whether you were merely exposed or if you actually have hep C. If that test is positive, then a genotype test is done to find out what kind of hep C you have.
