black sternum and coxae, orange-brown venter & prominent bands are a good tell for quite a few pessleri group isopedella spp. like this one, mature female too by looking at the ratio between it's body & legs, and the epigyne visible in the second photo :)

Yes, and not just this species. Some land planarians are very tolerant of water, for example, Lenkunya munda is often found underwater in flooded areas. Other species strongly dislike too much water and will escape to higher ground.
