  1. It sounds like a caterpillar or larva that got in the house by mistake.


  2. It's a tiny inch worm

  3. Learn to ID them, here -

  4. get something and untangle it from the web and put it outside. you are a caring person lol :) anyway, idk what the bug is but i wouldn't want worms in my bathroom or worse, my bed! bugs move/crawl. they may even get on your toothbrush.

    ok forget i said that last part.

  5. Want to bet you have a tree near your bathroom.  Many moths feed on trees and when they are done they drop down on a silk thread.  If the house is in the way they can end up anywhere.  The tree could be farther away if it was windy.  You description of its movement is perfect for any one of a number of species of "inchworms".  I find them in my oak trees.  You can spray your trees with a hose and more will drop down.
