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.
Common house centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrato) have 15 pairs of legs. The centipede is named by the number of legs it possesses. If you ever forget and ask yourself how many legs does a centipede have? just look at the prefix on the name. 'Cent' translates to mean 100 and there is your answer. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200.
