Don’t seem to be able to confirm this at the moment. I think it is a juvenile, probably a Scolopendroid rather than a Geophilomorph, but can’t quite see the head clearly enough to be sure

I think this is too big to be a Symphyla. Could it be an immature Scutigeridae sp.?

Lithobiomorpha (order)

Thanks Simone. Yes, looking at the CNM field guide I was tossing up between C. sp. (genus) and C. aurantiipes and took a stab at the latter.
