The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

Leatherjackets. Baddies


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

Yes.

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

It isn't.

Which stage is the baddy? What does it to?

The grub. Lives on roots, especially those of grass. Like a big grey maggot.

Thanks
I think I'm rather in favour of something that lives on the roots of
grass :-)
