Anyone know what this thing is? It starts to wriggle when left in the sunshine.

Its a castor, the pupa of a fly I think. Seen them on some of the fishing programmes -
It look like the pupae of the Angle Shade Moth. If it's about 15mm long I would put money on it. I have them all the time in the garden. There a beautiful moth, but there caterpillars do quite a bit of damage.

yeah, moth pupa, but apparently there are about 800 types that all look the same. You could try hatching it in a jar of soilLast edited by Two_Sheds; 09-07-2011, 02:18 PM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
