Default Finding unusually high numbers of grubs? Location: SE PA

I've been noticing really high numbers of grubs this year as I do my weeding and dig planting holes. As in 5 or 6 in every planting hole I dig for my peppers, which are not particularly large holes and one bad cluster of almost a dozen in one. It's strange, because I'll find 1 or 2 in every other hole, usually. I find them more often when digging up turf than when digging in my vegetable beds, but this year, they're all over my veggie beds.

Do they cycle or something?

What might this portend for this season in terms of pest pressures? White/gray beetle grubs all pretty much look the same to me, so I have no idea re: species.
