I found two in two days a few weeks ago. I live very close to Va. in Tn. and have seen them a few times before in summers past so two in two days was really yukky! They were behind two separate bags of soil that were propped up against the brick side of the house. The first day I pulled the bag away from the house to use and there it was in the cement between the bricks. (shudder) I prodded it out with a stick and stepped on it like you did Breezymeadow. The next day I pulled the other bag away and there was another one just like the first!! This time I did somethig REALLY stupid - I ran inside for my camera (hoping it wouldn't escape into the garage) took these pictures and THEN prodded it out and stepped on it.

Here's the first sighting - sneaky suspicion and not really sure what it is yet...
