CONSIDER THE SILVERFISH
by Julie Lavender

My husband is an avid reader and book collector. As an entomologist by profession, he would most likely say he hadn’t met many insects he disliked.

But, I met one before heading out on my walk with God today – the dreaded silverfish. It’s my husband’s nemesis! And it was crawling on the bathroom wall!

The small wingless insect gets its name from the silvery body color and the fact that it moves in an almost fish-like motion using the antennae to wiggle along with the help of its short legs.
