What are Silverfish?
There are around 20 species of silverfish. They’re small, wingless insects about and grow to be around 1 centimeter long. They have long, slender, flattened bodies. Their name comes from the silvery, metallic appearance on their bodies.
Here are some key facts about silverfish:
- Color – They have a distinctive silver or pearl-like color, which helps give them their name. Their bodies are covered with fine scales.
- Diet – Silverfish feed on starchy foods like paper, photos, wallpaper, glue, starch in book bindings, and even some fabrics. They can also eat dead insects.
The most common species found in Brisbane homes and buildings include:
- Common Silverfish: This is the most widespread silverfish species in Australia. They have a tapered, fish-like shape and can be identified by their silver-gray scales and long antennae. They feed on starchy foods and paper products.
- Firebrat Silverfish: Slightly smaller than common silverfish, firebrats have mottled gray coloring and prefer warmer environments. They are drawn to heat sources and will chew on fabrics, wallpaper, and books.
- Ctenolepisma longicaudata: Also known as the long-tailed silverfish, this species has distinctive long cerci (tail-like appendages). It feeds on detritus and plants.
- Lepisma saccharina: The sugar silverfish prefers sugary foods like candies, syrups, and fruits. They are identified by their uniform silver-blue scales.
