Lepisma saccharina has a much shorter tail than the one on this photo. Ctenolepisma longicaudatum seems more likely. Posted 11 years ago

The Gray silverfish

The gray silverfish, also known as giant silverfish or long-tailed silverfish, is a small insect whose Latin name is Ctenolepisma longicaudatum. As with the silverfish the gray silverfish has scales that cover the body in a silvery sheen. The gray silverfish can also move very fast. Gray silverfish are about two centimeters long and are found in books and paper.
