Hi, I have recently spotted several tiny (5mm long) white insects in one of my plant pot's soil. As you can see in the picture they are completely white, 6 long legs, 2 antennae and a thin long thorax. Could you help me identify these insects and tell me if they are harmful to garden/plants? Thanks in advance, Marina ![]() |

![]() Do they move? If they don't move they look a bit like the shed skin of an aphid. If they move then they're something else. Shed aphid skin: https://www.google.ca/search?q...: |

Maybe some type of Garden Centipede? https://bugguide.net/node/view... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
