4 Fun Facts About Silverfish

Silverfish are some interesting insects. Not only do they look a lot different than most, but they’re also very different in other ways as well. Here are some interesting facts about the unique insect.

They are ancient

Silverfish are one of the oldest insects in the world having inhabited the earth for over 400 million years. Looking at the timeline of dinosaurs, that is 100 million years before dinosaurs existed. Which means, silverfish roamed with dinosaurs.

They can’t fly

Unlike a lot of insects, silverfish have not developed wings over the years. Therefore, they cannot fly. So if you see a silverfish, don’t worry because they can’t fly away.

They live a long life

Silverfish are very strong insects and can live for an average amount of 3 to 6 years. There have been silverfish that have lived for as long as 8 years.

They love the night

Silverfish love damp and dark spaces in your home. Therefore, they love nighttime. During the day, they will hide in places like closets, cabinets, boxes, etc. because they are looking for dark places. However, they will often roam during the night because everywhere is quite dark.
