This is the pupae of a tobacco hornworm. We found (and squashed) a handful of these in May.
This is a tobacco hornworm that apparently escaped being squashed in May. He didn't have the same luck tonight.

The chickens love those little green snacks!
Adios, garden thieves!!!
I always wondered what those things were tobacco horn worm huh?
I'll be killing them now(:
Is that what those are? I've dug a couple of them up in the flower beds while planting (and tossed them on the patio for the birds), but oddly haven't seen any hornworms.
I had assumed they were junebug larve, since they're similar colors.
Now i'm completely befuzzled! Do we get those tobacco whatsits in the UK too? I pulled something exactly like that out of my roots bed yesterday and binned it straightaway out of fear! How interesting!!
