Arthropod ID

[Jarad]

I found a couple of these arthropods hiding in some moist soil near the top of one of my pots. They were 20mm long when stretched out, they are white underneath and have approximately 6 legs near the front.

First question: Any idea what it is?
Second question: How should I kill it? I'm assuming nuke the pot with confidor?

When nuking, always use napalm!

Fingers work, lol... Certainly an interesting looking creature.
How does it move?

I would probably overdo it and burn the apartment building down...

For the two I found, the fingers worked quite well.

They move in a similar way to a caterpillar, and when you pick them up with tweezers they wriggle like worms do.

It's a type of mealworm (beetle lava) Kill it.
