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.
A centipede would have 50 pairs of legs, adding to 100 legs. Cent is the French word for 100 (one hundred), and would therefore mean it would have 100 legs Centipedes do not a â¦ lways have 100 legs. They can have anywhere between 20 to 300 legs despite rumours of them having 100 Centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment.
