weird species of bug, problem or not?

Scott226 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2006, 01:54 AM

Theres these bugs in my attic where im growing I call them silvertails (I think I made it up) there like silver earwigs that are more thin and longer attanae (sp?). And there f'ing fast its like a race to catch them.

I will see one or two occasionaly and im wondering what are they called and are they a problem?

ok, I found out their called "Silverfish" my question is will they harm my weed plants?

Yes they are bad for your plants.

They prefer vegetable matter, but indoors they will feed on almost anything.
You seeing them is quiet rare as they are nocturnal (sp) and yes they can run pretty damn fast.
