It looks like a silverfish. Those are the little critters that lay waste to book bindings & covers, cardboard and anything else that has adhesive on it. Assorted other stuff too.
It might possibly be some kind of earwig but those generally have a sizeable and distinct thorax. That is not evident in your photo so my vote is still for a silverfish.

It is very definitely an earwig, not a silverfish.

You will note that in your links the earwig has a clearly defined thorax; the photo of the silverfish does not, it is segmented all the way to the head. Like the OP's picture.

That bug has no resemblance to a silver fish! LOL....silverfish like like a teardrop-shaped drop of mercury.

Right.... what's your point?
You'd better look at the OP's picture again.
That's *not* a silverfish. Look at the tail, for pete's sake. It's an earwig.

Google Image has a feature where you can upload an image and GI will find a close match. It is supposed to work with tools and uncommon objects.
I tried it with your bug, but Google didn't do very well.

Depends upon how old they are. They don't get the silvery look unntil after several molts.

I vote earwig too. I have them all over my property, hiding in moist places.

Irrelevant. Look at the pincer-like structure at the tail: NO silverfish has that.
It's an earwig.

Totally different insect:

The adults are approximately 1.7 centimetres (0.67 in) long and about as wide, forming the "shield" shape characteristic of other stink bugs. They are various shades of brown on both the top and undersides, with gray, off-white, black, copper, and bluish markings.

Looks like the little devil Khan put into Chekhov's ear in Star Trek's "Wrath of Khan"
