Silverfish are sometimes mistaken for centipedes, which do inflict painful bites. One way to tell the difference is to note how many legs the bug has. Upon close inspection of a silverfish, youâll see that it only has six legs. o Silverfish are small insects (between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch) and have shimmering, silver-colored scales.
Silverfish and firebrats are wingless, flat insects with two long, slender antennae on the front and three long, slender bristles at the rear of a tapered, carrot-shaped body.They are 1/2 inch long when fully grown.nlike the silverfish that may be found in any part of a house, firebrats prefer areas of high temperature (90Â° F and above) and high humidity. Therefore, firebrats are more common in attics and around furnaces, ovens, and water heaters.
