I've got them in the ivy and the wood pile here, halfway between Richmond and Petersburg. That shot was taken in the gardens of the Biltmore mansion in Asheville (a day after leaving beautiful Charleston) during our annual summer progression. Also see them at the in-laws in SE Florida. Damn things are endemic. Used to keep them in terrariums when I was a kid, fed the mealy worms.
Friend of mine went to the Sillydel, said they kept one in their room, just let him wander around, kept the bug population under control, I guess.
Only the males have the blue tails . . . hope that's not something subliminal.
