Earwigs are harmless insects that can be annoying indoor pests in our area. Sowbugs and pillbugs are other small pests that annoy, but do not bite or do other damage. These can usually be eliminated by screens and other mechanical barriers. Silverfish are silvery, soft-bodied insects that can damage paper and books. They cannot fly. Centipedes and millipedes are crawling creatures with many legs (myriapods). Centipedes are larger and faster than millipedes. Millipedes often look like little worms that often curl up.
Daddy long legs are harmless, but scary-looking relatives of spiders.
