Sorry if you've down this one recently, but we've not been urgling of
late.

Whilst digging in the garden I've found quite a lot of mahogany coloured
things that look like chrysalises, but wiggle when you disturb them.
They are about 3/4 inch long and 3/8 in diameter, a smooth cylinder for
half the length and segmented in the other half.

Goodies or baddies?

Leatherjackets. Baddies


Are these the ones that are juvenile daddy-long-legs?

The leather jacket stage does look like a chrysalis - it doesn't look
capable of eating anything.

Which stage is the baddy? What does it to?
