larvae ?
« on: June 02, 2012, 19:05 »
Hi folks
digging over the new plot, and found a couple of larvae, not got any pics, but they are a very vibrant brown with a black bit at the end, about 3/4 inch long, hard outer skin.
just wondering what they are as I tipped them oot of the plot.
cheers

I suppose they could be Leatherjackets.

It's a pupa. It will probably turn into a beetle.

Its a pupa of a moth or butterfly, more likely a moth at this time of year.
