Identification needed please, problem ahead ?

Hello everyone,

This morning, I did find this in my sphagnum and I would like to know if I should be afraid of that. It is rather big. The chart is in mm.

I can't find a similar pic on the net.

I grow my CP in the basement. I keep a window slightly open so some small insects could come in via the screen but it don't usually happen.

In the past, I did find some "humidity" detrivore insects in the LFS a kept really wet. Could this be the same thing ?

It didn't jump but was quick ... seems a bit big for a springtail.

Than you very much for your help.

Shogg

Just a sow bug. Nothing to worry about.
 
Hi Cthulhu138,

I didn't know the name but that's what I initially thought it was.

Thank you very much for the identification.
