Silverfish

Moist, humid areas with temperatures between 70°F and 85°F; commonly found in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics.

Broad diet consisting of carbohydrates and proteins; they consume starch, paste, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff.

Nocturnal and move with a characteristic fish-like swimming motion. They are long-lived (up to 8 years) and fast runners but cannot climb smooth vertical surfaces.

They do not bite or transmit disease to humans, but they are considered pests as they can damage household goods like books, wallpaper, and clothing. They also serve as a food source for predatory insects like spiders.
