| |  funny tiny centipede problem
On uploading this green elf cup, noticed a tiny invertebrate behind it. 
It has two dark spots on the legs, a strange backbone like structure with black markings, almost dinosaurish and I assume thats a long tail sticking out?
I have no idea, grateful for help please on ID, or a steer.
Size is tiny - the elf cups max at .5cm, most are just above pinhead size.
Cheers
Ken

Hi Ken,
Look at Banded Centipede, Lithobius variegatus. You can see one antenna which is the long protrusion at the top, tail bottom.
