We've been seeing more of them in our traps lately, they've got that flexible abdomen and rather intimidating mandible. I don't believe they're a direct threat to collections, because they're a predator species- they eat mites, springtails, larvae etc.. However, their presence could be indicating an increase in the types of prey they eat!
