  Jeremy continues:  This fine animal was in my bath this morning:  It belongs to the Order Zygentoma (formerly Thysanura), or Three-pronged Bristletails.   They are currently in the Class Insecta, though this could change.The Order includes “The” Silverfish Lepisma saccharina, <\/em>which likes cool places, and “The” Firebrat Thermobia domestica<\/em>, which likes warm places.  This one is a different but related species, sometimes called the Grey Silverfish or the Grey Firebrat.  Let’s settle here for the scientific name Ctenolepisma longicaudata<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
