Question

Big-1   Hi jack,
My name is Jacob and I am 17 and from Ireland.

A couple of weeks ago I had found one bug in my bedroom. It was light great and really slim and walked really fast along the floor. I killed it and got ride of it.

Three days ago I was laying on my bed when I felt a sudden shard pain on the inside of my arm and when I looked the same bug just larger was just hanging out of my skin.

Tonight I found this big in a black large form with two smaller baby ones.

I have no idea what they could be but if they are biting me then I would like to know it's safe and try get rid of ot.

The bus is small and black/grey and it's very narrow and long in a teardrop shape.

It has also been eating other insects.

Can you please identify the big and tell me how to get rid of them.

Regards,
Jacob Downey.

Answer
Jacob,

This is a silverfish or firebrat, see http://www.livingwithbugs.com/silverfish_firebrats.html for pictures. These insects don't bite. Check the page cited above for ways to control them. I don't know what might have bitten you but if you can get a picture I'd be glad to take a look.
