Could someone help me identify this insect? I found it in my bathroom, and it’s really unsettling me. I haven’t spotted any others nearby, so I’m hoping it’s just a one-time visitor. Thanks in advance!
Can anyone tell me what insect is this?

It’s hard to provide a specific identification without a picture, but common bathroom insects include silverfish, cockroaches, or various types of flies. Silverfish are generally harmless and prefer damp environments, while cockroaches can be a sign of larger issues. If the insect is small, elongated, and somewhat shiny, it could be a silverfish. If you’re unsure, consider capturing it gently in a cup and taking a clear photo to share for identification. If it’s a cockroach or another pest, you might want to check for any entry points or leaks. Don’t worry too much—most bathroom insects are just looking for water!
