    • The silverfish is a nocturnal insect that is less than an inch in length. The insect prefers to reside in damp and humid climates reaching up to around 95 percent humidity. The silverfish is equipped with two compound eyes, an anomaly among the other in the thysanura family. Silverfish have three cercis that extend from their heads and abdomen, used mostly for feeling the various surfaces they climb over and around. The common wiggling motion they perform is similar to that of a fish swimming, which is where the name is derived from.
