Worms in my basil & parsley pot

General    None Given

My parsley recently died. It started wilting now it's dead. When I looked in the soil I found those worms and it seems to be living in the soil. Not sure if this is a pest I cannot find its name in the internet. Can anyone help identify and how to get rid of it?

It looks like centipede. They are general predators usually feeds on insects, earthworms etc., by killing them using venom. In rare case when there is no food they may feed on vegetable matters. So no worries it is not a pest. But the biting of centipedes may cause swelling, fever, chills, weakness and other allergies to adults and children. Kill them and dispose properly.
