What is this little creature ? It is about 1/2 inch long. I found it - and four more ! - in the bromeliad soil. And how did they get there ?
Thanks.

Some kind of centipede.

This is not a centipede, but a flat-backed millipede such as the garden millipede - see http://tinyurl.com/43rwbj5

I planted my potatoes under straw this year and these things are eating my potatoes...also sow bugs. :( Here's a picture of a potato eaten. How do you control these?
