White underbark, Sym*phyla?

White underbark, Sym*phyla?
Hudson, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 30, 2005
Size: 5-6 mm
Under bark of beetle-rich dead tree. It wouldn't stop moving so I could escape motion-blur in my image. I didn't have my closeup flash with me.

Thanks, Jonas.
So I guess it is just a freshly molted centipede.

I guess
Yeah... I've never seen one so small before. :)
Allot of centipedes have some level of parental care, usually consisting of mother guarding eggs and freshly hatched young.
