Silverfish

Dark, damp, and cool environments like basements, kitchens, bathrooms, and attics; often found near paper or moisture.

General scavengers focusing on carbohydrates and sugars; they eat paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, glue, fabric (silk/linen), and cereals.

Nocturnal insects known for their quick, fish-like movements. They prefer high humidity and hide in cracks during the day. They have a long lifespan (2-8 years) and can survive for months without food.

They do not bite humans or carry diseases but are considered domestic pests because they can damage books, photographs, and household textiles. They are also a food source for spiders and centipedes.
