Silverfish. Silvery gray and wingless, these 1/2- to 1-inch long soft-bodied insects are distinguishable by their two overlong, hair-like antennae and the three long filaments nearly as long as their body that protrude from the end of their abdomen. Most active at night, these swift-running insects are often seen darting across bathroom, kitchen and laundry walls or ceilings and can become trapped in sinks or bathtubs, unable to climb their steep, smooth sides.
Bees

Often mistaken for bumble bees because of their large size and similar black and yellow striped markings, carpenter bees are 1 to 1 1/2 inches long with a shiny abdomen instead of a bee’s typical hairy abdomen.

Earwigs
Earwigs. These 1-inch long dark brown garden scavengers have flattened bodies and fierce-looking curved pincers at the end of their abdomen. The insects’ name comes from an old European superstition that earwigs could enter through the ears during sleep and bore into a person’s brain. The legend is completely false; an earwig’s pincers are used for defense and courtship and are harmless to humans. Most active at night, earwigs are attracted to bright lights in large numbers.

Moths
Indian Meal Moth. Small moths up to 5/8 inch long with reddish copper markings at the tips of otherwise white wings, Indian meal moths get their name from their appetite for corn mean, also known as Indian meal.

Aphids
Introduced to the United States in the 1970s and 1980s as an agricultural pest deterrent, Asian ladybird beetles are voracious insect feeders that can eat up to 270 aphids daily. A serious fall nuisance in New Jersey, lady bugs can overwhelm buildings, inundating floors and decks.
