What is it?
Identified as Lepismatidae on Bowerbird by Matthew Connors: "Wow, that is stunning! I've never seen or even heard of a silverfish like it - fantastic find"

These four Chinchemolles were living under loose rocks on a rock outcrop (picture 14). Two females were close together under one of the rocks, clutching the upper, loose rock rather than the solid basal rock (picture 13). The remaining two (a male and female) were also found together, also on the underside of a loose rock.

Picture 8 shows a bright red mite in a concavity on the body. All four of the animals had some (1-5) mites visible on the mid-body, head, or antenna.

Also present under the rocks were Black widow spiders (Latrodectus species?).

This is one of the most incredible beasts I've ever seen. Found it in our cabin on the saltillo tile floor. The coin in the photos is a Mexican 5 peso coin which is slightly larger than a quarter. This fellow escaped under some furniture. I'd rather not step on it at night while barefoot!
