I've always been pretty good at identifying insects my whole life. As a kid I would spend my days turning over rocks and leaves, and capturing anything that...
... first I thought it was some type of silverfish or centipede because of the many legs and long body. < Rule one: more than 6 legs -> not an insect... good...
... A-hah! Thank you so much! That seems to be the one, though the ones I've seen must be a grey variation of the species. Never heard of a house centipede...

Thanks for trying. How about this next one... black beetle with orange rim?...
