Calling all entomologists in the house: the following critter was found in my kitchen and I'm curious to know what it is.

If it's not clear from the picture, dark-greyish elongated body, multiple (more than 6) short legs, 3 long antennae.

I tried Google Goggles but either the photo wasn't good enough or they haven't branched out into entomology yet :)
 
Yes, I do clean, thank you very much! :D Thank you also to those who tried to terrify me, unfortunately I know what wasps look like, but I appreciate the attempt at humour :)

Majority opinion from here and other sources suggests it's a silverfish.
 
Queen wasp. I should know, my Dad kills them for a living

It looks like you dad has been killing Silverfish, mercilessly then!

See this is THE problem with the death penalty, sooner or later an innocent Silverfish is going to get killed.

:D
 
Not sure if joking or not? But these quotes refer to an unforgettable thread from earlier this year. Very funny.
