Can someone please help identify this insect?

I would need more detail in the photo in order to identify it. However, the first impression that came to mind was a baby House Centipede or possibly a Silverfish, but the scale is wrong.

House Centipedes are normally around an inch long, not "dust speck" sized. I don't know how big they are when they are born. Silverfish are smaller, but still not that small, and again, I don't know how large the babies are.

Normally at small scales like this you're talking about some type of Mite. But Mites usually have a more roundish body plan, whereas these seem to be elongated.

One thing that would help is to know how many legs they have. If it's eight, then I would say it's some type of Mite. If it's more than that, then some type of centipede.

Silverfish like humid environments with exposed saturated sheetrock (common in bath tubs), they eat the paper and glue from the back of the sheetrock.

Wouldn't we all? However--



That's a neat thing to say. It conveys the impression that ros is up to speed on baby House Centipedes and, possibly, Silverfish and that it isn't either of those because the scale is wrong. Do mature alpha males in the USA actually get away with expressing such thoughts in public?

What's "sheetrock"? I've never heard of that before and I'm not at all that sure I wish to.

Whatever it is it has the look of a female.

We sure need a better picture.

It could be a silverfish.

However, the outline is more of a termite:

Introduce Arctic conditions into your bathroom for a few days. They will probably go next door. They can be very fecund in warm and moist conditions.

Yes. And a count on the number of legs would tell us what subphyla or class we're dealing with (of course, a detailed photo would reveal that info as well)
