Silverfish

Dark, damp, and cool environments such as basements, attics, kitchens, and bathrooms. Often found in crawl spaces or behind wallpaper.

Consumes starchy materials and items rich in carbohydrates or protein, including book bindings, glue, paper, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff.

Nocturnal and extremely fast runners. They undergo a hemimetabolous life cycle (egg, nymph, adult) and are known for their shimmying, fish-like movements.

They do not bite humans or spread disease, but they are significant household pests that cause damage to paper products, clothing, and food stores. They serve as a food source for spiders and centipedes.
