Silverfish

Damp, dark areas such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics; often found near paper and adhesive sources.

Consumes matter containing polysaccharides, such as starches and dextrin in adhesives. This includes book bindings, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff.

Nocturnal and extremely fast-moving. They undergo ametabolous development (primitive metamorphosis) and can live for several years, molting throughout their adult lives.

They do not bite or transmit disease to humans but are considered urban pests because they damage household items like books, wallpaper, and clothing. They serve as a food source for spiders and centipedes.
