    Found this walking across my bed tonight, I smushed it a little because I got freaked out. Any ideas what this might be? I've had a few bits here and there but I'm not sure if they were from being outside and getting bit by mosquitos. We travel a lot but always do the bed bug check first.....
    Thanks

    Can't tell much on the phone

    I'm not 100% sure it's a roach (but, yes, it looks "roachy").
    In any case, surely not a BB...

    Looking on the computer yep not sure of a roach either. No doubt it not BB related though. What I thought were cerci are actually on the head. I can zoom in and see eyes near them.

    Looks like a silverfish (Zygentoma or also known as Thysanura).
