Can someone help me identify this bug? I freaked out thinking it was mouse poo (size reference) and noticed it moving. I zoomed in and got a pretty good pic.
Thanks!

I am guessing springtail. That is really gross, but good pic.

Doc is right...it's a silverfish and it is fast and squirmy. They like warm moist places. For me, they are right up there with roaches. I lived in the south for ev er but never had a roach. All those bugs are yucky...ewww

Nope, Gayle is dead on. It’s a carpet beetle larva. Carpet Beetles | Facts & Identification, Control & Prevention

Gayle is correct. The op's bug is a carpet beetle larvae. Silverfish are a different family of insects.
