User's notes

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.
