Symphyla are tiny, fast-moving, unpigmented relatives of centipedes and millipedes, which feed on decaying organic matter and plant roots.

Symphylans (or ‘garden centipedes’) are Myriapods, making them distantly related to millipedes, centipedes and pauropods.
They're an absolute nightmare to photograph, as they rapidly run away when disturbed, e.g., when their favourite stone is turned over!
