Silverfish

Damp, dark indoor areas such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, particularly near moisture and organic debris.

Carbohydrates and starches, consuming paper, book bindings, wallpaper paste, glue, and various starchy human foods.

Nocturnal and swift-moving insects that avoid light and undergo ametabolous development, shedding exoskeletons throughout their lifespan.

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or transmit disease, but they are household pests that damage books, paper goods, and stored starches.
