I just noticed a whole bunch of caterpillar type pests in the soil of our bamboo palm. Overall health seems good. Is this something I should be worried about?

Thanks!!

I have a couple of these in a Hoya. They're pretty harmless and take care of the soil.

those look like centipedes! they are friendly and not pests. you can remove them if they are bothering you, but they won’t hurt the plant :)
