Over the years when digging in the soil i have found red shiny chrysalis, when they are held in the hand they wiggle. I have often wondered what would hatch out of them. I found one recently and popped it into a container and waited. It hatched into a moth called a Yellow underwing. The moth itself looks brown when resting but once it flies it displays a yellow underwing.
The chrysalis after hatching.
The brown upper surface of the moth.
The underwing visible. The photos are a bit blurry, my camera isn't up to the job.
