Size: .25 inches
I believe this is Paradacerla downesi. The white markings on the underside of the abdomen might be a good identifier. It was about the size of a medium-sized ant.

Very cool. Unfortunately, we have no examples of Paradacerla downesi--and I can't find any elsewhere online. With luck, the experts will recognize it.
