Dammit. I was trimming tomatoes and tying them up when I noticed our peppers looked wimpy. A little digging in the clay media and holy crap!

So do these always have 6 legs?

I think a few months ago (maybe 5 or 6) someone on the forum discovered very similar looking bichos.
I don't think they were Garden Symphylans, but could you have a nest of Termites that stoped by for a visit?

Don't those kind of look like Termites?
