Found this in our bedroom, curious as to what it may be. It wiggles around real fast almost like a worm with a hook in it. Its tail also has tiny things constantly moving around like antennae or something.Sorry the picture isn't the best, it's pretty small
CLOSED: What is this bug?
It most likely is a silverfish, a cosmopolitan nuisance pest in the order Zygentoma - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish to see if this appears to be a match.
I believe that may be it. Maybe just a small/young silverfish. I've heard of these and thought that may be it due to its silver colored underside but had never seen one before. But then saw 2 within 10 minutes after spraying some ant spray
!!Should I be concerned whatsoever? We moved into a new house made in the 50s , I've seen house centipedes and spiders but had never seen nor do I know much about silverfish.
Unless extremely abundant, silverfish very seldom cause any real damage and specific control measures usually are not neccesary.
