Think this one might test you all 
My daughter found this insect stowed away in some imported wooden garden furniture. Country of origin unknown.
Anyone have a clue what it is?
Could it be some kind of cockroach??
thanks, Ashe   |

Afternoon Ashe,
Yes, as Jason says - the general area of Silverfish. It may be worth sending the photo ( by email) to the NHM, see what they say. Not native though - very confident of that. Where is it now?
Well done on managing a photo.
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | thanks Jason. Definitely didn't keep it or kill it. I guess not knowing any different she would have just let it go.
thanks for your help.
