Brossard, Quebec, Canada

Size: 1.5-2cm
Photographed late at night. It has long antennae and three tail filaments, it looks like a nymph, but I have no idea what it is. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi
Haylor, Yes agreed, it is rather creepy looking, but then I guess to another silverfish he/she is probably very attractive. It takes all kinds to make a world!

looks like a Silverfish
Maybe in Family Lepismatidae.

Thanks
Yes it does look like a silverfish. Thanks. I was thrown off by its size and color. The other silverfish I see around here are silvery and small. This one was brown and, as silverfish go, very big.
