Hi Stephan,

I don´t know about it being a silverfish of some kind because we have
very small individuals of those here as well and they look pretty
different...in the attachment there´s one of those, pretty much the same
size. Maybe I´m mistaken though. I also think the bristletail would be a
little out of it´s usual habitat if it found itself here...Thanks for
the help though!

Best regards,
Christina Günther
