Antonio.this is in my backyard,neat to the orbit weaver spiders web. They share the same space. Surprisingly it does not attack the spiders web or the spider in the web!

Kids love to play with these. The other day a woman picked it up with its tail. It shed the tail. They usually do that when they are terrified.

Wow,Emma gorgeous :) do you have more details? size?in the field or in the city?
