Its probably invertebrate life. Your soil is living with a myriad of critters, from viruses, bacteria, to millipedes, centipedes and everything in between. Its not a bad thing, its life. If there was nothing in your soil i would be worried.

If there was nothing in your soil i would be worried. Agreed, millipedes eat decaying organic matter, and centipedes are carnivorous, both a benefit, unless it's a centipede eating you. Millipedes have their legs positioned underneath the body, where centipedes have legs that splay outwards, and are much faster moving.

See my post in the Technical issues section at insectnet.proboards.com/thread/4692/picture-attachment for how to post photos. You have to use a (usually FREE) photo hosting website and put the link to each photo in your post. Please also tell us where in the world you are, it makes big a difference for identification purposes. Adam.
