Where did you find these things, in the soil or attached somewhere above ground?

The dimensions are too large for a butterfly chrysalis, unless you mean one inch in circumference and are overstating the length.

I wonder if it is not a sphinx moth pupa - many of them pupate underground, and some are very large - a poplar sphinx would have about the dimensions you describe. Look for a "jug handle" extending from one end back about 1/3 the length of the body, where it attaches again - this is the sheath for the developing proboscis. Hope this helps! Tucker

Did a quick google search and found this pic. I'd bury it again and then watch your tomato plants next summer. The moths are great.
