Bug Story (2 of 2): Evening Cooking.

The other night I was having a relaxing evening at home listening to Top 40 on the radio and doing some cooking (homemade hummus, a succotash-inspired stew, homemade tomato sauce for pasta).

As I was stirring pots, I saw something dart across the wood flooring, out of the corner of my eye to the left.

I turned, and it had encountered where the tiles meets the floor, and started running alongside that, so I stepped out and squashed the quickly-moving indistinct black spot.

On the bottom of my house sandal was a bug torso with an yellow inner middle that looked like banana pulp, and several thin legs broken in a few places.

I suspect the bug was a silverfish, but I'm not sure.
