Specifically there is this thing that looks like a crysalis (sorry I cant spell). But it moves and is in the dirt. I was digging in my garden and there was alot of grass growing in it. That is where I found them. They are brown, about an inch long, maybe less, and they are a bit shiny, and hard... in one spot I found 5 of them. O and I live in Mass. Any clue what it is?
What kind of insects live in my garden?
Chrysalis....you were close. I'm wondering if those aren't cicadas starting to emerge??
Several people have asked but since I'm not in the NE, I'm not sure.
The pupa case you decribed is common to moths and butterflies. So without seeing it (and probably watching to see what emerges) it's hard to tell. My first thought was tomato hormworm.
Get a jar, punch some air holes in the lid, dig up these monsters (with soil) and see what emerges! Keep it in a dark area.
Reply:I'll assume you're talking about an outside garden %26amp; not one below the belt. I've seen them before too - moths or wasps or some other flying annoyance. I'd make their home their grave if I were you. They may feed on whatever you're growing.

Reply:Hey, the answer to this question is not hard. Take me for chance , its a worm lookin thing, I often asked myself what it is, I dont have the scientific answer( what is based on all human or living things), I seen it myself although I watch it and it doesn't affect any of my garden areas. If you really want to know (my opinion is.... Leave it be. And maybe take a picture and go to your local libaray to see if it is a harm to your garden.
