Hi Lindsey Your second insect appears to be a silverfish (*Lepisma saccharina*) or close relative. If the property you mention is coastal, this could be one of the "rock-brats", *Petrobius, *which are a bit more substantial than silverfish. *Petrobius *sh*o*uldn't be a problem (other than indicating poor sealing of the building), but silverfish can be damaging to paper and other artefacts.
