Hi. I live in Michigan and was curious about this bug. I see them in the bathroom sometimes along the crack between the floor and the wall, they are very fast and hard to photograph,(I had this one trapped for about a week hoping he would die so I could get a picture). He is still alive although he did change from brown to a very light color and is about 2.5 cm long. Not as interesting as some of the other bugs you feature but I wonder what this one is and if he changes into something else. Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,
You have Silverfish, primitive insects and common household pests that are usually found in dark damp areas.
