Minute insect (about 1mm), found in my bathroom. I suppose it is a larva (of a bug?) but am not sure.
Thanks

Thank you, mwkozlowski! So, it is an adult insect. Could it be a
Entomobrya sp.?

I have contacted Dr. Frans Jassens who promptly answered:
"indeed it is definitely Entomobrya.
I have 2 candidate species:
1. E. multifasciata
2. Female E. atrocincta
They are difficult to distinguish on habitus pictures. Were there any orange/black Entomobrya specimens found in the close neighbourhood? If yes: atrocincta, if no: multifasciata."
