Looks like a baby house centipede judging from the legs(?) on the bottom.
I wish I could get a better photo. I do not have a macro lens but I may be able to get better details with a real camera.
Anyway, from up close observation with a small pen light, it looks like the "legs" really are "hairs," and the legs are all underneath the body, caterpillar style.
I thought so too, but they look different at that stage.
