    Maybe red legged shieldbugs and well...


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Yes, mating shield bugs. They often smell bad.

    I'm not sure about silver fish. We used to have them in my family's house in the kitchen drawers. Horrid things. I guess it was crumbs they were after.

    Silverfish ... a common sight in my childhood ... they like the dark and the damp .... often found under sink units and baths ... go in the dark room at night and turn the light on and watch them all scurry for the shadows.  

    Keep places dry ... deal with any damp issues ... other tips for dealing with them here
