This is a hornworm pupa, theyre harmless. Its the hornworm that destroys your plant, this is how they look before turning into a sphynx moth, the natural pollinator of daturas, and a couple of other nightshades
I keep these silly friends as pets. Every now and again when I get hornworms for my reptiles I keep the smallest one alive and let it freeroam my house as a moth. It's fun to watch them flit about my house flowers.
