I am putting in a pool in my back yard, and while digging ysterday I discovered a really large chrysalis. Wondering if anyone has seen one and/or know what it is.

Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like one of the cicadas.

If it's empty, it means the grub has left it and is feeding on plant roots.

The only thing Ive found online that even looks close is a silkworm, but I dont think we have them in kansas..

I have no idea what it is, but I just have to tell you...


I looked at these pictures before I went to bed last night, and I had a nightmare where all of Dudley's super worms started morphing into those things. It freaked me out!

Needs closer inspection, but most likely a hawkmoth cocoon of some sort...it should be relatively easy to search species for your locale.

Oh yes, that looks like a pupa for a cicada or large moth. Nice find !!

What ever it is. It is freaky looking. Something pretty big came out of there:|
