Suzy, I quite like silverfish too and thought you might be interested in a quote from Moyra Bremner's Enquire Within which says that silverfish are 'to be pitied and loved' because they are as old as the dinosaurs but failed to evolve very far! It also says you can keep them as pets in a jam jar and feed them on flour (they like the starch) but I don't think I'd go that far. Carolyn |

Suzy, I can understand you not wanting to kill them, they do look rather inoffensive, bless!!just bad press like lots of other things in life. I wont kill anything either, I normally catch them and then put them outside:-))) |

Well Suzy, I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I have never apologised to a silver fish, frogs maybe yes, but only when I squash em! lol BC |
