This is a Pauropod - a remarkable tiny relative of millipedes and centipedes. Most are <1.5 mm long, and they all possess a unique type of branching (‘biramous’) antennae.

Pauropods live in soil, leaf litter, and under stones and decaying wood, where they feed on fungi and organic matter.

I'm curious, have you seen one before?
