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.
Female silverfish can lay eggs at any time of the year and it typically takes three to four months for them to grow from egg to adult. Silverfish eat anything that contains starch or polysaccharides. This can include paper, photos, wallpaper glue and book bindings.
