I was tunneling away, dividing my current world on level Y=13 into zones to start branch mining, when I suddenly ran into two blocks with silverfish in them. I thought silverfish only appear in fortresses, so I marked the spot with torches and started digging around, but I have not found a fortress yet.
Is it possible for blocks containing silverfish to appear without a fortress nearby?

Ceci n'est pas une signature.
Yes, they can also appear in any stone block within an extreme hills biome.
Rats. I was indeed close to an extreme hills biome when I ran across them.
I was hoping to find a fortress. Now I am disappointed.

Yeah, this caught me out recently too. Spent ages digging around the area thinking I was near a fortress!
