Inland Silverfish

Typically found in human dwellings, particularly in dark, moist areas like basements, attics, and kitchens.

Generalist scavengers that feed on carbohydrates and proteins, including starches from book bindings, paper, clothing, and human food scraps.

They are nocturnal, fast-moving insects that avoid light. They undergo hemimetabolous development and can live for several years.

While they do not transmit diseases to humans, they are considered pests due to their potential to damage household items like books and fabrics.
