I ordered and just received a moss variety pack from etsy. Brought it in literally minutes ago. Was opening containers so they could breathe and get a lite misting . Atleast 2 of them I took the lid off and put it right back on. I saw a centipede I think and another tiny bug. Then the second one I want to say it looked like an ant. Not sure though. These are my first mosses that was going to be used in my first terrarium. Should I be concerned? Should they be removed? If so what's a safe way to not kill the moss and get the buggies out? Another other tips or advice would be appreciated as well.

I wouldn’t necessarily mind some bug bc I know it helps promote a healthy eco system and all but my closed terrariums are 100% closed. These have 3 holes towards the top. And I ain’t trying to have critters loose and roaming my room you know.
I’d start by washing the moss. Just swish it around in a container of clean water.
Just take it outside and release the bugs, no big deal. Springtails should be left alone though.
