    1. No, it must have somehow tumbled into a flower pot. These critters cannot climb smooth surfaces, so there is no way it would ever have been able to get out again on its own ... Posted 5 years ago

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.
