Fast moving slug

[OwlHoot]

Tried to google this, but cannot find anything like it.

I found what looked like a baby slug in the kitchen this morning – bent down to pick it up with tissue, the bugger shot off at lightening speed. This was a superman kind of slug. Really creeping me out.

Any ideas?

Xog is right - It certainly sounds like a silverfish

A silverfish perhaps?

The legs/antenna are not obvious in all species. Ours look like tiny slugs too.

What's this silverfish-like bathroom bug? - Yahoo! Answers

Yes, I think that is the thing.

Looks like I have silverfish. It has been very wet lately, and subsequently have some water in the foundations of the house.

While this cannot be easily sorted, may as well sort out the dehumidifier, and look longer term into getting a good quiet permanently on one.

Great.
