Anyone knows what is the proper name of this “monster”? 
Hello Yuri –
In my neck of the woods, we call those “fish bait.”
Great photo!
Cheers!

I believe…they like damp/wet areas, so keep your eyes peeled for moisture issues!

The first time I saw one run across the floor, it was so ‘fake’ looking, since it reminded me of that ‘alien’ creature running for a victim.

How do you get 'em to stay on the hook?? They’re so fragile and break apart very easily.
Kevin, you are right. There were more than enough moisture issues in this house, including rot, mold, etc.
Super Glue a little dab will do ya.
Make sure you keep it of your self works very fast on skin.

That is just one of the few things I have not done yet.

That is called a centipede.
Ah…I see those in crawls around here all the time…they live next door to the fiddlebacks. BTW, I do charge extra for crawls…
Chewing gum…:mrgreen:

Courtney Love splits them down the center and uses them for eyelashes.

Just a big ugly spiny sob
Well doc, I’ve got this pain in my abdomen and it seems to move around. Surgery? OK at this point I’ll agree to anything.
They are known as silverfish around here. Hell of a site when you see one crawl out of a drain. 
A quick google search came up with the following info:
Silverfish
SIZE: 1/2 to 1 inch (12.7-25.4mm)
COLOR: Brown or silver-gray
DESCRIPTION: Silverfish are small, soft insects without wings. The abdomen has three filaments extending from it.Silverfish are not often seen by homeowners because they are nocturnal and can run very swiftly. Occasionally, they are found in bathtubs. They crawl in seeking food or moisture and can’t climb out. These insects prefer vegetable matter with a high carbohydrate and protein content. However, indoors they will feed on almost anything. A partial list includes dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton, linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds and breakfast cereals.
HABITAT: Silverfish normally live outdoors under rocks, bark and leaf mold, in the nests of birds and mammals, and in ant and termite nests. However, many are found in houses and are considered a pest, or at least a nuisance, by homeowners. Usually they are found trapped in a bathtub, sink, or washbasin.
LIFE CYCLE: Adults lay eggs in small groups containing a few to 50 eggs. The eggs are very small and deposited in cracks and crevices. A female normally lays less than 100 eggs during her lifespan of two to eight years. Under ideal conditions, the eggs hatch in two weeks, but may take up to two months to hatch.
The young nymphs are very much like the adults except for size. Several years are required before they are sexually mature, and they must mate after each molt if viable eggs are to be produced. Populations do not build up rapidly because of their slow development rate and the small number of eggs laid.
TYPE OF DAMAGE: A household pest, they feed on cereals and non-food items such as paste, paper, starch in clothes, rayon fabrics and dried meats.
CONTROL: Sanitation alone will not eliminate an infestation, although it may prevent new ones from starting. A large infestation usually means the house has been infested for some time.
Residual insecticides (use an aerosol) will help to control these pests. Removing old papers, boxes, books, and clothes from the attic to basement will help remove food and hiding places. Moth crystals placed in boxes in the attic will also help.
INTERESTING FACTS: They can go for up to one year without food.
I’m sure this nice sized 8" fellow I saw yesterday would chomp down on him. At first glance I thought this was a common ‘horny toad’ but then realized he wasn’t.
