Please help identify the insect

Hi all,

I have recently discovered that one of my indoor pineapple dracaena has many of these little Centipede like insects in the soil. When I bought this plant, I repotted the plant using EB's cactus soil. The plant was kept away from other plants in its own room. I did used some dried spanish moss as soil cover. There did not seem to have many of these insects. Recently when I watered the plant, there were more than 20 of them showed up on the surface. Clearly, the number has increased. They are about 5 mm to 1 mm in length (less than half inch).

The plant seems to be doing ok, so I am not entirely sure what to do with these insects. Could someone take a look at the attached image and provide some advice? What is the insect? Anything needs to be done?

Thanks in advance.
