Found this little guy/girl the other day. I believe it to be either Damon variegatus or Damon annulatipes. Any help on ID will be appreciated

. Found in the Kzn midlands if locality will help haha they look rather similar :-?

It's a girl apparently. The elbows are not going past the legs like with males. Unfortunately I cannot help with the classification.

Think D.annulatipes is found down there.
