(From Wikipedia) Symphylans, also known as garden centipedes or pseudocentipedes, are soil-dwelling arthropods of the class Symphyla in the subphylum Myriapoda.

FACT: Symphylans are still very useful as decomposers, although their tendency to eat roots and seeds of live plants can make them something of an agricultural menace!
