Adult female - Walckenaeria auranticeps

Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
December 13, 2012
Size: ~2.5mm body length

Found in tall moss. She's got the most amazingly brilliant red coloration! It's striking even looking at her without magnification.

ID from epigynum using Millidge 1983. I don't think she can be anything else.
