One dead variegated foxy lady

Discovered my foxy lady dying I always pull out any dead or dying plant always to inspect what might be the cause of the issue and to my discovery a grub was eating away unnoticed eating the palm heart I have never seen this before and let’s say very disappointing with the result to have such a rare palm die this way a soil insecticide may have helped but I don’t like to spray my palms it is what it is

Any thoughts on what this grub is?

A borer of some sort not the African black beetle there are way to many beetles in my area to tell we need an entomologist
