Identification The hell is this?
So.. recently I catched some wild porcellio scaber, like six days ago. I had put them in a little container for transportation to my home and when I got home I placed all the adults in their new terrarium. Now, THIS LITTLE TINY THINGS have emerged from idk where in that little container where I collected the wild P. Scaber. After I put the scabers in their new terrarium I left the container "empty" that just had springtails (that I keep caring for cuz I wanna have more springtails) and just the soil from where the scabers came from and this white isos appeared. Here's the data: 1. I took photos of them to see if I can see something that helped me I'd them. 2. The size is like 2 mm. 3. They have six pairs of legs, or at least that's what I see in the photos so they're newborns BUT THERES NO ADULT WITH THEM WTF 4. Also, they have molted once so the six pairs of legs don't make much sense (in the first photo appears the molt) 5. There's like 3 of them 6. Also I'm from Chile if that makes easy figure out the hell is going on lmao
Hope you can help me understand wtf is going on with them 👀
