Solved What is this?

We were digging over the raised beds today and came across a few of these things in the soil. What are they? They look like a large bean but I think they are some kind of pupae

 

I think it's a Moth pupa but not sure, goole moth pupa

 

All my life I have called these leather jackets and believed they were the pupae stage of the Crane fly...common name Daddy Long Legs.

However researching on www the eggs turn into larvae which look like this...
Quote RSPB...."The dull brown larvae, known as leatherjackets, are pests. They feed on plant roots,"

Quote BBC...Then the pupa have rows of spines along their sides which enable them to move up and down within the soil during wet and dry periods.

No where on www is there a life cycle where they turn into pupae that look like your pic.
....researching on www I found a link that says they belong to a moth.

I am left very confused.
How can we all have got it so wrong for all these years.

 

Thank you both. The pulpae were removed and disposed of, and by the sounds of it, that's a good thing

What is so sad is that for years I squashed these thinking they were leather jackets and not good for the garden.
Surely I am not alone on this erroneous thinking.

 

We all learn something new evey day, i'm always learning

 

Me too I once thought the same, feel a little bad about it now
