haha looks like a lil centipede! i only laugh because i was on this exact same situation once, found one in the drainage dish of a plant in my bedroom \& i freaked. i caught it with a piece of paper \& flinged it outside. but afterward i heard they’re not bad \& that they eat bad pests like mites. if you’re concerned there are more maybe you can dust some diatomaceous earth on your soil or in your drainage dishes? i personally only ever found the one.

If you look closely there’s 2 in that pic…there were others in the bottom and I even seen them in the holes at the bottom of the nursery pot 🤢 if this were an outside plant I don’t care. But I cannot share a room with centipedes lol what is diatomaceous earth and will it kill them all? Lol

I went to Google and it’s soaking in soapy lukewarm water to kill them lol hope it works! Glad it was close to water day 😅

You’re hilarious! You can also get some Bonide granuals and put them in the top layer of the soil before you water again. If you want to be on the safe side. BTW I would have freaked too!!!!😊
