It was just walking along under an azalea minding its own business, but this is the first time I've seen one of these.

Maybe not Harpaphe
This pinkish-orange paranota and telson seem incongruent with the yellow in most observations and descriptions of Harpaphe haydeniana, or any Harpaphe species. I've found a similarly-colored xystodesmid in Southern Oregon.
