Found a couple of these in the garden this morning. Buried a couple of
inches down, about half an inch long, a little rinkly, look pretty tough
and a light chocolate brown colour. It may have riggled a little - or it
could have been too early for me ! Any ideas what they are ?? Could try
and get a pic online, but I'd have to find them again first ! Should I
be worried at infestation of something nasty ?

Possibly some kind of moth pupa?

I've got one of those too, I think it might be a puss moth.

Thanks for the link. Looks most like the pic on the page you linked to,
rather than the one on the link I have posted.
