I posted a couple of days ago and I’m back with a picture-what are these in my soil? Larva? Earth worms? I only see them sparingly. Should I be concerned?

Again with the zoom hate. But I think they are immature greenhouse millipedes

Anything to be concerned about?

No. They do eat plant matter, but usually more decaying stuff. If there's a lot of them, you might make sure to watch younger plants as they will chew on them, if there's nothing decaying to eat
