@Forest, thx for moving :-) I'm a newbie here :-)The nearest pics are "Acherontia_Atropos" called "Death's-head Hawk moth" and in german it's called "Totenkopfschwärmer"...See: http://www.lepiforum.de/cgi-bin/lepiwiki...
Neat find! It's often difficult to identify a species from a pupa. I think it's safe to say that it's a Moth. You could try to raise it and see what hatches out. This should be moved to the "Arthropods" section.
I found a chrysalis equal, but can not say if it is the same species: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/227...
