I believe that is a Symphylan. It’s been ages since I’ve seen one of these and it was cool to be reminded they exist!

Ah, they do loop a bit more... Longer, less clearly segmented (i.e. smooth, like typical millipedes compared to centipedes) than those. Also, i hope they aren't pests, but this plant did come from a biological plantery here, so i guess that does give some risks
