Silverfish

Moist, humid areas like bathrooms, basements, and attics. Found worldwide.

Starchy substances, paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, and natural fibers like silk and cotton.

Nocturnal and move with a characteristic fish-like swimming motion. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or transmit disease, but are considered pests due to damage they cause to household paper goods and fabrics.
