It looks like a silverfish. Those are the little critters that lay waste to
book bindings & covers, cardboard and anything else that has adhesive on it.
Assorted other stuff too.

It might possibly be some kind of earwig but those generally have a sizeable
and distinct thorax. That is not evident in your photo so my vote is still
for a silverfish.

No, it doesn't.

It is very definitely an earwig, not a silverfish.

You will note that in your links the earwig has a clearly defined thorax;
the photo of the silverfish does not, it is segmented all the way to the
head. Like the OP's picture.

That bug has no resemblance to a silver fish! LOL....silverfish like
like a teardrop-shaped drop of mercury.

Right.... what's your point?

Like the OP's picture.

You'd better look at the OP's picture again.

That's *not* a silverfish. Look at the tail, for pete's sake. It's an earwig.

Google Image has a feature where you can upload an image and GI will
find a close match. It is supposed to work with tools and uncommon
objects.

I tried it with your bug, but Google didn't do very well.

Depends upon how old they are. They don't get the silvery look unntil after
several molts.

An earwig will/can pinch you. A silver fish will not.
The OP photo is NOT a silver fish.

Irrelevant. Look at the pincer-like structure at the tail: NO silverfish has that.

It's an earwig.

Totally different insect:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug

The adults are approximately 1.7 centimetres (0.67 in) long and about as
wide, forming the "shield" shape characteristic of other stink bugs. They
are various shades of brown on both the top and undersides, with gray,
off-white, black, copper, and bluish markings.
