I found this girl under a rock while I was doing some watering.
Length: 3mm
She has orangey red legs that shine in the light.
She is also has a long body shape
She seems to have some moisture on her gaster because she's dragging it around ( I see no blood so she's probably not hurt )
Could not find nest.
Pictures:
