Silverfish

Found in dark, damp, and high-humidity environments such as basements, attics, bathrooms, and kitchens, often near food sources like starch or paper.

Omnivorous scavengers that consume carbohydrates and starches, including glue, book bindings, plaster, paper, sugar, and natural fibers like silk or cotton.

Nocturnal and move with a characteristic fish-like swimming motion. They undergo ametabolous metamorphosis (no major body changes) and can live for several years.

Generally harmless to humans but considered a household pest as they can damage property like books and clothing; they play a minor role in breaking down organic matter in the ecosystem.
