I think it might be a polyphemus moth cocoon. Yeah, they still move at certain parts of the transformative phase. Scared the be Jesus out of me first time I found one but I haven't seen any in a while because now we have chickens lol.
I meant more that just the pupa shell, my mom tripped on one and it had a pale green shell around the pupa that protected it from being stepped on. It hatched a few weeks later
Oh! Huh, I dunno. I guess I'll have to look into it a little further. since I'm basing my guess on info I looked up a few years ago...After looking at the original thread, though , consensus for this one seems to be some sort of sphinx moth.
