We ve had silverfish in the last 3 apartments we ve lived in all nice places Not sure if they traveled in our stuff but I exterminate like a mad crazy lady I hate insects but would rather have silverfish than any other sort of pest even ants Last night I was about to jump into bed when I felt a painful sting on the inside of my thigh Behold there was a bug on my leg and IT BIT ME I ve never had problems with silverfish biting before and know that they re known to NOT bite but I think some of these critters have lost their minds and DO bite I smashed the bug with my phone into the carpet but most of the most is still in tact It looks like a lighter silverfish it s not a centipede either seen those killed those but my confirmation was the silver streaks on the backside of my phone Silverfish leave a silver streak behind them As I cleaned off my phone I can see the silver almost like faint glitter left behind where I smashed the bug I clean my phone regularly so it s not from anything else So it looks like sometimes people DO get but by silverfish even though people say they don t bite I watched this stupid thing on my leg bite me the mark is tiny and red nothing more
