This week I have taken delivery of several parcels, including one from Germany. This one had a hitchhiker, a Long-tailed Silverfish, Ctenolepisma longicaudata. They look distinctively different from our familiar Silverfish, Lepisma saccharinum. I was able to key this out and demonstrate the key feature, that the large erect setae on the side of the body are saw-toothed.
