Silverfish

Dark, damp, and cool environments such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and attics. They are frequently found in areas with high humidity.

Polyphagous; they consume carbohydrates and starches. They feed on glue, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, hair, dandruff, and organic debris.

Nocturnal and highly agile; they move with a fish-like wiggling motion. They avoid light and can live for several years, undergoing many molts throughout their life cycle.

Generally harmless to humans as they do not bite or spread disease. However, they are considered household pests because they damage property like books, wallpaper, and clothing. They also serve as a food source for predatory insects like spiders.
