What kind if insect is this?

I found it underneath some dead patches of grass, is it what's killing it or does it just commonly live under grass?

its a grub worm and they can be descrutive to grass and plant roots. The next time your fertilize the lawn get one that kills grubs.

Yup, just a grub, cook it and eat that sucker.

Not sure if they harm your grass, but I doubt it.

They absolutely destroy your grass. They eat the roots. If you see circular spots of dead or unhappy grass, it's normally grubs.

We had one of these suckers flying around in our shop a few months back.

We were pretty ignorant and were chasing it with paper cup to catch it. Luckily, no one was stung.
