Silverfish

Damp, dark, and cool environments with high humidity such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics.

Polyphagous; they consume matter containing polysaccharides such as starches, dextrin in adhesives, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff.

Nocturnal and highly mobile, they are known for their fish-like swimming movement. They have a long lifespan (up to 8 years) and undergo a primitive form of metamorphosis.

Generally harmless to human health as they do not bite or transmit disease; however, they are considered household pests because they can cause significant damage to books, wallpaper, and clothing.
