Alien pods. Call Art Bell.
That was my initial response too! Hehe.

If you found these several inches deep, I agree with Karl and it was my first impression that they are cicada pupae. Have you ever seen nice round holes in your yard, which is what I see after a cicada imergence?

The white creatures sound like grubs and made quite nice fish bait, but not nice additions to the garden. ;-)

Grubs.... fish bait... right. I had to think really hard to remember. Yuk, I guess I wouldn’t enjoy fishing then.

I lived in cicada central in 1987. Those were a few awful weeks. In 2004, my new neighborhood was relatively cicada free so I could sleep with my windows open, unlike some of my friends who were suffering from Post Traumatic Cicada Disorder by the time the breeding season was done.

LOL! I use the fake plastic grubs when one is necessary. Not a big live grub fan myself.

"That was my initial response too! Hehe."At least you caught them in time. Step on them and we will all be safe.

I remember those from my childhood in my Houston neighborhood. It was weird that the pointed end of them did move around when picked up.

Definitely moth pupae.
A Google image search for moth pupae will show a number of similar examples.

That seems Cicada. The 17 year is out this year. There is a 13 year that made an enormous presence a couple years ago.
To: dayglored
And here I thought it was a political forum. Yes, but I don't feel too bad - five years here and I have only put up two vanity threads. And this is getting more replies than some of my political threads.
