Ctenolepisma ciliatum
The Ctenolepisma ciliatum, also known as the silverfish, is a small, shiny insect that loves to hide in dark, damp places. They are quick and have a unique, wiggly way of moving around.
生息地: Urban areas
The Ctenolepisma ciliatum has a flattened, teardrop-shaped body, typically grey or brownish-grey, covered in tiny reflective scales. It possesses two long antennae at the front and three tail-like appendages at the rear. Its segmented body tapers from head to tail, making it distinct from many other household insects.
