Diameter including legs is probably 1 1/2 inches. Looks like it has several red mites attached to it.

Wow! I looked on Bug Guide. I didn't see anything like this. Great find!
Thanks Dan, Ashish and Goody! I updated this spotting with the Harvestman identification. You never know what you are going to find when you flip over a piece of wood. :)
Yes its look to be Short Leg Harvestman.. just searched with your comments...

I'd say it's definitely a harvestman, but man, it's got some of the funkiest colors that I've ever seen on one! Nice job!
Wow! Never seen anything like it.
