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.
Starfish have five or more (in some species) arms that radiate outward from a central body disc. The upper-side of their body can be smooth, bumpy or spiny. The mouth of starfish is located under the central body disc and tube feet line the bottom side of the arms.The tube feet enable the starfish to move using a hydraulic system, also known as a water vascular system. Most starfish are bottom feeders.Starfish are often brightly colored animals.he mouth of starfish is located under the central body disc and tube feet line the bottom side of the arms.
