In my favorite bathroom was a colony of these little guys living in the wall under a heater unit serving the adjacent bedroom; some were reddish, some silver, some mixed w/ the silver tending forward. They were easily nearly an inch long. The earlier population seemed to have a cephalothorax, w/ streamlined eyes fitted like the headlights of a 60s Fiat Spider, and would walk in arcing patterns, sweep a piece of floor, thru which it would proceed in a sweep to the opposite direction; the later separate-headed ones were more flexible in their behavior. The ancient 3-tailed configuration & corresponding very old & peaceful vibe made these among my favorite critters 💜.

@miskakopperoinen8408 2 года назад

@@cocoduck7745 No. However you should avoid eating or inhaling them especially if you find them in your shower drain or some other place that's likely to be filthy. Snorting powdered sewage probably isn't the best use of your time. Anyhow, they aren't venomous at all nor are they poisonous. They don't have stinger or suitable proboscis to attack humans. They defend themselves by avoiding dangerous environments and their upper, silvery exoskeleton affords them a measure of protection against careless predators by virtue of being tough.

I used to have this massive bookshelf in our study, and I spot a silverfish crawling occasionally. I really liked them as a child, maybe because of the way they shine.

@alyonagrigorian1967 5 лет назад

I have silverfish in my bathroom all the time and because of this I can't store towels there. I also have to keep the light on 24/7 but they still come. I once had a big silverfish jump on my hand when I tried to grab the towel after showering and, well, I screamed and cried for like 30 minutes. After that - no more towels in there, so I have to keep the door open when I'm showering because I put a chair with the towel on it next to the bathroom. I also brush my teeth in the kitchen because I saw silverfish on my toothbrush when it was in my bathroom. And I've seen silverfish in my room - in a sock, on the ceiling, in a CANDLE, on my backpack, on my bed (that was the worst moment ever), on the wall and on the window sill (one at a time obviously, it's not like my room is fully infested). They also have eaten my wet tissues. I hate silverfish. I'm scared of them and it's always frustrating when I see one but it escapes too quickly. They're in my mom's bathroom too. I do clean and vacuum clean my room, we also get our apartment cleaned professionally twice a week. So idk why the silverfish are there - our apartment is pretty clean. Do you have any idea why they could be there? Because it started in my bathtub and then they apparently spread almost all over. But it's not like I see them everywhere, no, but it's still terrifying when I see like 2 of them daily or weekly.

Ugh. I can relate. I was stung by a scorpion hiding out in my bath towel. It's quite the vulnerable feeling. As for the silverfish, I am by no means an expert, but they probably like your bathroom specifically because of the moisture in there. I would also guess that they're living in other apartments around you as well, and that's giving them a place that may be less clean to find homes. It could also have to do with the construction of the building itself and its age. We live in a townhome and I see cockroaches (and crickets?!?!) pretty frequently - but our building was built in the 70s. The good news is that silverfish are generally harmless, though I can understand how that still doesn't help with the creepy crawly feeling they might give you. I've heard of people using cinnamon sticks around the places they find the silverfish, but I have no idea if that actually works. I hope you're able to figure things out soon! That's definitely a tough situation.

They are coming from the other apartments. That building is infested with them. It’s time to move.

I swear I have no idea where these can hide in my bathroom. New 3yo apartment, all bathroom furniture is hanhed in walls... And the space. Below the tub is not accessible. And yet I see one sometimes at 2am

@AnimalFactFiles 5 лет назад

Perhaps they're entering through tindalos doorways...

When you said bathtub, I saw one in mine recently and I never knew they were silverfish. I always thought they were like a really weird roach or something. Glad to know I live with a Minecraft Mob 🤣

@chaoticfish4017 6 лет назад

For some reason I mistakened them for springtails

@AnimalFactFiles 6 лет назад

These guys are often called springtails, as well! Springtails are "technically" slightly different, but they look really similar. ;)

@ashleydragon4129 2 года назад

one time, I saw a colony of silverfish in a dead tree from an island from a beach which is very interesting, some of them were big like a size of a big paper clip!

@sammiegirl883 2 года назад

I lived in a rv with my aunt and cousin that had silver fish. They creeped me out but now looking at them close up they’re kinda cute for a bug.

I seems like around spring time I find one every other week in my bathtub. I usually blast them with the ol' Bug A Salt and wash 'em back down to where they come from.

@jashanestone 2 года назад

I used to think they came up through the pipes but only to be informed they actually fall into our sinks and tubs. Because of the lack of gripping.. I would test that fact by touching their tails to see them struggle to climb out. Thanks for the further insight 👍🏽

You find jumping bristletails near drains in the overspills of muddy residue around the drain. If you disturb them you see them twisting and turning and they hop in all directions.

It's interesting that in the wild, they eat fungi, and because fungi tends to grow in caves... Seems like some research was done on the Minecraft team.

@Mark1405Leeds Год назад

We have many in our bathroom. Have to avoid standing on them during the night. No problem with them at all - they do what they’re meant to do! They are like pets.
