Am I right in thinking that this is a Common Silverfish? I found it indoors.

Image Use
Hi Nolie,
I see I'm not the first to ask, but I'm interested in using this photo in a book. Could you please email me at jcabbott13@gmail.com to discuss? Thanks! John

image use
Hi Nolie,
This is really a great image. My writing partner and I have written a book about household bugs, and would love to use this terrific image in our book. I couldn't find any contact info for you, so I am trying to get a hold of you here. Would you be so kind as to contact me at joshua@joshuaabarbanel.com so we can further discuss this? Your work would be a great addition to our project, and we would be very excited to use the image.

Thank you,

Joshua Abarbanel

It looks right
and size seems to rule out other possibilities - see guide page. Moving to guide.
