At the moment, the six species regularly recorded in Central Europe are the common silverfish I L. saccharinum i , the firebrat I Thermobia domestica i Packard, 1873, I Atelura formicaria i Heyden, 1805 (a species living in ant nests), and three recently introduced species: the invasive gray or long-tailed silverfish I Ctenolepisma longicaudatum i Escherich, 1905, the four-lined silverfish I C. lineatum i (Fabricius, 1775), and I C. calvum i (Ritter, 1910). Museum collections used the insect blunder trap I Catchmaster i and pheromone trap I Finicon i for webbing clothes moths ( I Tineola bisselliella i ) in museums in Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein (provided by PPS www.pps-vertrieb.de, accessed on 1 July 2022). Insect traps from Austrian museums provide a clear picture of an increasing catch of I C. calvum i (Figure 4a), as well as a sharp rise in the number of museums where the insect is present (Figure 4b).
