I found this animal to sink in the bathroom. When I touched him, and was active in the movement to raise his head up and down. Length is about 8 mm. Date: 02/02/2011 Time: 8:55 Thank you very much for your help in identifying.

It's a Silverfish - a primitive flightless insect. Order Thysanura, probably Lepisma saccharina, a typical household pest. They like to chew wallpaper and books especially!
