Actually the common term silverfish includes:
Silverfish - Lepisma saccharina L.
Four-Lined Silverfish - Ctenolepisma quadriseriata
Long-Tailed or Gray Silverfish - Ctenolepisma longicaudata Esch.
Firebrat - Thermobia domestica

According to the Ohio State University, silverfish and firebrats eat:
glue, wallpaper paste, bookbindings, paper, photographs, starch in
clothing, cotton, linen, rayon fabrics, wheat flour, cereals, dried
meats, leather and even dead insects.

Do you have a URL for that info?
