Hi,
I can't see a lot of detail in your photo, but that doesn't look like an insect or a body part of an insect to me.
If you want more information, you could bring some of those objects to your county extension office, or could bring or mail them to us at the OSU Plant Clinic. That way someone will be able to get a better look at what you've got.
If you'd like to submit the sample at the Plant Clinic, here are instructions for how to do that.

Best wishes!

Thank u for ur speedy response

Hi again, Constance,

How about trying some silverfish sticky traps? If you do have silverfish, these should catch ones scooting around at night. Over time, you should start trapping out the silverfish, reducing their numbers or eliminating them.

Here is a link where you can purchase silverfish traps online or you could ask for them at your local hardware store or home improvement center...

Yours,

I have a video and picture of a live silverfish

I don’t know what the last picture of a bug is

Hi Constance,
Is that from a silverfish trap you deployed? If so, looks like you are on the right track and may just need to keep trapping for a while until the numbers are lower or you are not catching any more.
Cheers,
