Silverfish are small insects with no wings. Silverfish are usually active at night, and they move very quickly across the floor, so people do not see them very often. Silverfish usually eat anything they can find, but they like plants or vegetables. Silverfish are typically found underneath something like a rock or log. Young silverfish look very similar to adults except that they are a different size. They do not harm anything, only food that you leave out.
