http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebrat
Firebrats prefer higher temperatures and require some humidity, and can be found in bakeries and near boilers or furnaces. They feed on a wide variety of carbohydrates and starches that are also protein sources such as flour and book bindings, and can go for as much as a year without eating. They are distributed throughout most parts of the world and are normally found outdoors under rocks, leaf litter, and similar, but are also often found indoors where they are considered pests. They are primarily a nuisance inside the home or buildings, as they do not cause major damage, though they can contaminate food, damage paper goods, and stain clothing. Otherwise they are mostly harmless.
Lol its a firebrat!

Apparently the silverfish is slightly different according to the linked article, assuming it's correct, which is what is common around here and they seem to do the same thing, annoy the crap out of people.
I wonder if you have a bunch of these in your house, if you can hear "Fire it up!" in the dead quiet of the night.
EDIT: It's bad that I just realized it reads "FireBRAT" not "FireBAT."

Looks more like a zerg unit imo.
But yeah, this thread definitely did not deliver.
