Found this guy during the day in a greenhouse. He was pretty inactive, we were disassembling the greenhouse so I took it out and placed him on a plant (so photo with plant was not his substrate).

I've been seeing this along the San Antonio greenways. Would love to know what it is. Fingers crossed it's not invasive, because I think it's rather pretty!
