Silverfish

Damp, dark, and cool environments such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics; often found in crevices or under wallpaper.

Polyphagous scavengers that consume carbohydrates and starches. They eat paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, glue, household dust, and cereals.

Nocturnal and highly agile; they exhibit a fish-like wiggling motion when moving. They have a long lifespan (up to 8 years) and undergo ametabolous metamorphosis.

They are nuisance pests that can damage books, photos, and clothing. They do not bite or transmit diseases to humans but may trigger allergies in sensitive individuals.
