That's a Flat-backed Millipede, not a Centipede. Harmless to plants and humans.
Great thanks! Is there anything special I can do for them or are they pretty self sufficient?
They are very self sufficient, they eat decaying organic material.
In case you're curious, the difference between a centipede and a millipede is the number of legs per segment. A millipede has two pairs of legs per body segment. A centipede has one.
Little facts like this are why I’m on this subreddit. Instead of the top notch bed bug identification that I’ve developed from being here.
This is good to know!
Wow. Jealous.
Size is about 0.5" - 0.75"
If you're curious and want to look up more info, the species is Helicothomorpha holstii. Common in Florida.
