Native silverfish about 4mm under small piece of burnt wood. Seemed to be living wirg with small ants and was going in and out of ant tunnels in the wood.

It is impossible to identify silverfish to species level without identification. This specimen belongs to the Atelurinae, and is almost certainly from the genus Australiatelura.
