Aside from that, they feed on carpeting, clothing, coffee, dandruff, glue, hair, a few paints, paper, images, plaster, and sugar.

Silverfish can live for a year or more without eating.

Silverfish eggs generally take within 14 Days to two months to incubate. Indeed, the male and female carry out a fascinating custom that includes 3 phases and might last over half an hour. The female silverfish lay around 60 eggs and kept in small crevices. At the end, when the eggs hatch, the nymphs will deal on its way to move toward becoming adults after after three months to three years.
