Too many variables to answer.  Best to just read through this.  Especially the pupae section.  If it still wiggles when you press on it, it has a chance.  It looks dark enough that it's probably been in the ground for a few weeks. 

If you really want to see it develop, I'd put it in a closed box with a few inches of dirt in the bottom outside and bury it about an inch deep.  After a week or so (of gradually cooling temps), bring it inside, and make a hammock in the fridge for it like the article suggests.  At this point, it's waiting for spring....  You can try to artificially force it to develop early, but it's a crap shoot.  Most only live a few days (even outside), but it's cool to watch the change.

 got it in a box, outside, and protected from the sun. hopefully i didn't kill it by being a moron and pulling it out of the ground. will be really cool to see it change too.

 it's only about 2 inches long. it has a nasty stinger looking thing on one end. it was partially sticking out of the ground as shown in the first pic. i was simply walking past, and noticed something in the grass that didn't look like it "belonged", if that makes any sense.

 yea.....i wanted to see if it was alive, or would do anything. but in my defense, i did poke it gently with that stick, lol
