This insect often lives in our bathrooms. Is this insect dangerous and why is it present?

Interestingly, silverfish can regenerate lost body parts in as little as 3 to 4 weeks. Unlike most insects, they continue to molt after they mature. They moult about 30 times a year and can therefore live up to 3 years.

Despite their incredible vitality, silverfish also have their weaknesses. They have weak jaws, move relatively slowly, and are vulnerable when rebuilding their defenses.

Silverfish are also not very fertile. The female lays fewer than 100 eggs in her lifetime, which leaves room for cockroaches and other parasites. This made the cockroaches disappear from my house.

Interestingly, these insects are nocturnal, do not feed on human food, and do not transmit diseases that are dangerous to humans. Sometimes their waste can cause allergies, but this rarely happens.
