Default Is this a millipede?

FAST! When I was working my garden soil, I discovered I have a ton of
orange thin worm/millipedes all thru my soil. They were maybe 2
inches long w/ a ton of legs. Their body was very skinny.

Do I need to do something to get rid of these things, or are they OK.
Does anyone have an idea as to what they might be?


In addition to what others have said they might be Helgremites or Wireworms.
