Answer:

Lepisma saccharina which is commonly known as a silverfish is a small, wingless insect in the order Thysanura. Its common name derives from the animal's silvery light gray and blue colour, combined with the fish-like appearance of its movements. They are nocturnal insects. It is a cosmopolitan species, found in Africa, the America, Australia, Eurasia and other parts of the pacific. 

Explanation:

Superficially, the male silverfish resembles the female; in both, the antennae and the tail bristles are shorter than the body. Unlike other groups of true insects, which copulate, the silverfish performs courtship movements that end with the male depositing a sperm packet that the female places in her vagina. The oval whitish eggs are thought to be inserted into cracks and soil litter. The young, which hatch in several days, are scaleless and have short appendages. They molt every few days, gradually acquiring adult features. The silverfish continues to molt throughout the two or more years of its life, even after reaching sexual maturity
