Any idea what this is.

The picture is poor quality. I saw it crawling in and out of a rock pile under a light pole outsold my job at 2am. It moved like a spider crossed with a centipeed. When it was in motion the legs were arched like a spider, and on the posterior it had two arm like arms that were longer than the rest that moved like a shrimps long pinchers. It had a greenish gold color. That is the best way I could describe it, and about an inch long.

Silverfish! The only insect(?) on the planet that gives me the creeps. Maybe because I picture them crawling across my face when I doze off on the basement couch. I've only ever seen them in a basement.

House centipede, like Zero said.

Thank you. I've never seen one, it was really unique. I sat there and watched it for about thirty minutes. Just the way it moved in and out of the rock was awesome. It looked like it was walking backwards due to the long arm like appendages on the rear.
