What is this long, skinny bug? #871174

Asked June 02, 2024, 4:20 PM EDT

I found a long, skinny bug in my clothes when I got up to pee. I can't figure out what it is by googling long skinny bug, and the bug identification apps keep suggesting extinct winged bugs. It has two short, oval black segments at the front, and a long skinny gray tail towards the back. What is it? Should I be concerned?

Hi Leo and thanks for your question and pictures of your mystery bug. I am having no luck finding a match either, so I suggest you send it to Oregon State Plant Clinic for identification. The following site will give you information on how to submit the sample.
