Calling All Bug Experts!
Can anyone tell me the name of this creature?
Imagine you are sleeping and suddenly you feel like you were stabbed in the arm. Just before 6am one morning, this creature stung/bit me during my recent vacation in Florida.
Canon SD630, f/5.6, 1/60.

Thanks. I looked it up on Wikipedia and that appears to be it. Wikipedia even mentions that they bite. I can attest to that!
Apart from the fact that this creature was not actually silver or blueish in color, this appears to be a silverfish. Perhaps it got a tan in the Florida sunshine! -
