Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina)

Silverfish are elongated, slender insects with two long antennae on the head and three long tail-like appendages at the rear end. They grow up to 11 mm in length. Silverfish are primarily found in bathrooms with high humidity. Furthermore, new buildings with residual moisture in the walls or houses with water damage are affected. The animals hide in cracks and crevices during the day and not infrequently reach an age of around two years. Silverfish are not considered pests in the traditional sense, but are classified as nuisance pests.
