This funky looking thing is attached to one of my tomatoes. Should I lovingly remove it or let him stay? Thank you! Susanne

It looks like a pupa of some sort. Will be interesting to see what the others think.

I can't find a picture of a ladybug pupa that exactly resembles this thing ..but they do look similar. I'll let it live today!

Would it help if I took a picture of the other side of it?

Art, here is a Ladybug pupa I shot last month. Not as long as yours but similar.
It's an Asian ladybeetle.

Definitely a lady beetle pupa but something has gone wrong. The end of the larva is still exposed. I wonder if it will make it.....
