The rain has been a boon for the bristle millipedes (Polyxenidae) on the stone slabs of the walkway walls.
(Bonus oribatid mite.)

Indulged in a late night photoshoot with the bristle millipedes (Polyxenida, probably genus _Polyxenus_) that come out to browse on the stone walls around the garden. Saw the absolute tiniest bristlepede ever!
For far better close-up pictures, see e.g. BugGuide: https://bugguide.net/node/view/19106/bgimage

I lifted a bark and then found the smallest #millipede we have in Central Europe:
Polyxenus lagurus (Polyxenida: Polyxenidae)
Size is only 2-3 mm 📏
It seems to use bark beetle tunnels 🤔#millipedes #SouthTyrol #Südtirol #AltoAdige #Pustertal #ValPusteria #Polyxenida #millepiedi #Tausendfüsser
