Silverfish

Moved
Moved from Common Silverfish.

Not Lepisma but Ctenolepisma
Howdy, this is certainly no Lepisma but rather a Ctenolepisma. C. longicaudata could be a good fit, but I'm unsure about the possible presence of body doubles in the region.

Cheers, Arp

Lepisma saccharina…
This is the common silverfish which has flattened and broadened leg femora.
