Probably not worth putting this up, but it's something I've not seen before. It was under rotting dry paddock timber, was no more than 50 mm in length, and was a bright pinkish colour with blue legs. Wouldn't stay still for its photo, very quick at burrowing under wood pulp/soil. Have no idea if was adult or earlier stage of growth.
