OMG! I asked ChatGPT what it was and it said it looked like it was some kind of larva

ChatGPT also said if your plant has leaves check them

#### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 replied on 2026-10-15

There are none on the leaves. They are like weird, soft beetles.

Do they have a lot of whiskers? Idk its a little blurry but its giving silverfish bug vibes. If so they are harmless.

I thought the same. It’s blurry, but it looks like a silverfish.

#### Dot2462 replied on 2026-10-16

First thing I thought also.

Looks like a silverfish. Silverfish can do minor nuisance damage to some things like linens or paper, and might try to eat food, usually grains. They're harmless, and mostly just like the dark, humid hiding spots that plants provide. If you want to deter them, remove hiding spots like leaf litter and crevices (try putting plants on pot feet), and increase airflow to keep the area less humid
