Hi Nancy, That is what it looks like to me. I have a magnified photo of one on the wall in my office and the body type seems correct. Unless you got an entomologist to answer differently, I would say it's a typical silverfish. Amy

Hello! I'm identifying insects found in our space, and I'm having trouble with this one. I suspect it's a silverfish with the bottom part of its "tail" missing. Does that sound right?
