Hello Paulo, this is about the closet I have ever seen a silverfish! Great shot. The details are superb and a very good note. My only nit would be that the tails prong was inside the frame. Well done on bringing us this small but everyday creature.

Hi Paulo!!
This is an excellent macro (4-6mm!!) and moreover the species presented on the picture is rarely photographed (even if it is cosmopolitian)!! My congratulations!!
I really like this picture!!
Moreover, I just wonder if you agree to put this very good photo in the gallery (in Polish Galeria) on the web page of the Polsih Entomological Society:

Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Radomir
