CLOSED: I think this one must be Lithobius forficatus

Gent, Belgium(Zone 8a)

I found it in my cellar where a pile of wood logs is stored and brought it to the garden to photograph and left it there, it will find plenty of old wood logs there too..
I am confident that it is Lithobius forficatus even though Lithobius variegatus looks identical, but that last one has stripes on the legs which mine doesn't has.
