Well maybe not all wood splitters but this one was happy to find these and get a nice shot of the two peacefully, I think, coexisting under the bark of some of my firewood that I was prepping for the nearing heating season. Quite often the bark falls off the wood after it has dried for a while or pops off under the stress of being split.

Beetle larva (poss. Canada Fire-colored Beetle-Dendroides canadensis ) and Millipede (poss. Ophyiulus pilosus found under deadwood bark. I've been finding beetle larvae under my firewood bark for years but this is the first time for this species and I hope to see the colorful adult one of these days.
