“Sorry the picture is not really good. These bugs live in the floor, in the tatami or maybe in the wood. They are about 1cm in size and their color is a grayish gold. They come out when it’s quiet or when it’s dark. I would like to know what they are and if they are harmless or not.
Thank you very much for your time.

Thanks for your submission! The picture you sent is a little bit grainy, but it looks like what you have is a Silverfish, which often live in older buildings. They are harmless little insects and do not bite or spread disease, but eat a variety of carbohydrates– paper, wallpaper glue, book glue, or linen, especially papers that are left a long time on a floor or in a closet. If you want to protect your old stored books, it’s a good idea to keep them in a plastic case instead of a cardboard box.They are often seen in the warm months in Japan when it is humid, and will disappear in the winter. Small spiders such as jumping spiders will hunt silverfish and keep the population down. Thanks for your submission and have a good autumn!
