Subject: [PestList] AW: possibly our first ghost silverfish

Dear Stephan,
thank you for the update on the new definition. When you introduced the ghost 
silverfish in your course a while back, I was really keen on seeing one myself. 
Apparently I should be more careful what I’m wishing for 😊

Best regards,
Stella

Dear Stella
I agree with Volker, that you have got a Ghostfish, were I get some more 
findings in South Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg in the last years. Also in and 
arround Munich.


But we have now a new morphological redefinition of ghost fishing for Europe
….Ctenolepisma calvum is  Ct. phantasma

Rediscovery of synanthropic silverfish Ctenolepisma calvum (Ritter, 1910) 
(Insecta: Zygentoma: Lepismatidae: Ctenolepismatinae) from Kerala, India and 
assignation of European C. calvum to a new species

Dear Volker,

thank you very much. This is really helpful.

Unfortunately my colleague already threw away the trap (I was on sick leave and 
didn’t have a chance to take a closer look), so taking a macro shot of these 
individuals won’t be possible anymore. We’ll continue to monitor this room 
though. I usually don’t wish to have more pests in our rooms than necessary, 
but I’m kind of looking forward to find another ghost silverfish now, just to 
take a better picture of it 😊



Best regards,

Stella

dear stella,



To me, it looks like a ghost silverfish (Ctenolepisma calvum)

But it should be measured accurately,

and be identified by professional entomologists.



I have only seen one ghost silverfish so far (here near Cologne).

Please take a look at the attached information, it might help -

and a macro shot with scala.



best regards

volker

Dear Pestlist friends and colleagues,



My colleague and I possibly found a ghost silverfish in our sticky traps last 
week. As this would be the first sighting of this kind of silverfish in our 
building, we wanted to be extra sure and ask the professionals around here for 
a second opinion. In my opinion, it is a ghost silverfish. Best picture for 
identification is photo no. 2 (2025_11_Falle12_03). But: Is this really a ghost 
silverfish (Ctenolepisma calva) or just a normal but dried out and faded 
silverfish?

We are located in southern Germany, Bavaria, where it is said that ghost 
silverfish sightings are increasing, but we’ve never seen any at our museum so 
far.



Best regards,

Stella Oppl
