I was digging up some ground the other day and this caught my eye as I was shoveling. I have a feeling it is from a Tomato Horn Worm as I have never seen anything else this large around my garden. It is alive and moving its tail end in circles every once in a while.

Whatever it is, what is the best thing for me to do with it? Put it back out in the weather or keep it in the house in this jar and cover the cocoon with dirt/grass until it hatches? I really want it to survive.
