The pointy end kept on swivelling round as if looking for something or wanting to burrow back down (but being on my trowel it had no luck). Your description exactly describes a chrysalis. The conker brown, the rounded end and the pointed end and the wiggling about which suggests it is almost ready to emerge, probably as some sort of moth rather han butterfly, though I cannot say which. Do you still have it? Someone else has suggested putting it in a jar and waiting to see what emerges. Then release it immediately. No way have you described an earwig or a leatherjacket.
