Thanks, Christian. Silverfish are one of my most common pests. I think ours are Lepisma. Interestingly, the places I find them around the museum don’t always seem to be associated with high RH, which I have always found curious, though I suppose there are always little microclimates.

It would be worth to identify the silverfish, if it is Ctenolepisma longicaudata or Lepisma saccharina. If you need further help, just contact me.

In this case, there are two small silverfish on the trap, but I have not always seen these with silverfish and vice versa. I am wondering if they are excrement? This appeared within the last 3 months, when while our site was inaccessible for IPM checks due to the pandemic.I apologize for not having a measuring scale handy – I used a ballpoint pen tip to indicate scale.
