So around 23h00 I found this really small bug on my wall and was wondering what it was.

Thank you!

it's an exuvium (shed 'skin') of a mayfly subimago (stage between the aquatic nymph and the winged adult). Mayflies are the only insects known to molt once they have developed wings - see http://www.troutnut.com/im_regspec/picture_4445_large.jpg
