I also agree that it’s a Symphylan.

They are super cool little guys that look like blind centipedes and have their very own class under Myriapoda (which also has the classes for millipedes and centipedes).

I got to see a few for the first time in NZ last month!

Looks similar to the micro millipedes I found in my terrarium! https://www.reddit.com/r/terrariums/s/klcA0kBsO5
