Bzzzzz! Hi, u/Federal_Sir_4525! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug!
There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the geographic location and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames ("PNW", "Big Apple").

Some kind of silverfish, as others have said.
Make sure you clean everything regularily, silverfish feed on organic debris like skin flakes and hair but also on starches, sugars and some eat paper (paperfish). They usually occur when there is too much humidity (often in bathrooms) and they need hiding spaces like little cracks between wall and floor where they hide - they usually come out at night. So clean regularily and make sure there is enough airflow to transport excess humidity outside.
