Every so often i see these things that i don't really like. They look a bit like this




They sort of walk around, but i can never see their legs. They are only about 2-3mm long (why i can't get a decent photo). I used to see them under bins, but i saw one in the toilet just now, and yester day, there was either one already in the sink, or, one came out of the tap, but i didn't see it till i turned on the tap.

Can anyone identify what it is? Should I be worried? Do these things even exist or am I a bit mental?
 
All I can think of is these:

but you can sorta see their legs :\
 
looks like an icecream :p

could it be a carpet beetle larvae? have a look under any cabinets etc , under the fridge see if you can see aload of empty shells that shape
 
Thankfully I've never seen anything like that..

What sort of size was it? (Just re-read the OP..Doh)


Bit worrying that youve seen it under a bin and in your sink though?
 
I found the OP really disturbing tbh. Couldn't work out if what he was seeing was actually real or not.

Anyway, deffo silverfish
