Field Notes

Description:

Silvery bug with a weird tail with three points at the end.
6 legs. 2 long antennae.

Habitat:

Bathroom friends house, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Notes:

I know these silverfish are considered pests but looking at things with PN eyes I had to take pictures of it and even had to save it out of the bathtub. ;-) ( I am sure if my friends know they will not be happy with me)
I have to say I will NEVER do that with cockroaches.
