Ctenolepisma Nigrum
''Ctenolepisma'' is a genus of primitive insects in the order Zygentoma, closely related to the silverfish and firebrat but less reliant on human habitation, some species being found both indoors and outdoors and some found exclusively outdoors. The genus is distributed nearly worldwide in warm regions. Australia lacks native ''Ctenolepisma'', but is home to introduced species. Nomenclature Most authors have historically treated the nomenclatural gender of ''Ctenolepisma'' as feminine, but in 2018 the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature issued a formal ruling (ICZN Opinion 2427) stating the gender of ''Lepisma'' (and all genera with that ending) is neuter, following ICZN Article 30, which resulted in changes to the spelling of several well-known species, including ''Ctenolepisma longicaudatum'' (formerly ''longicaudata''). Diversity There are roughly 75 extant species presently recognized as valid in the genus, and one fossil *''Ctenolepisma abyssinicum'' Men ...

Ctenolepisma Longicaudatum
''Ctenolepisma longicaudatum'', generally known as the gray silverfish, long-tailed silverfish or paper silverfish, is a species of Zygentoma in the family Lepismatidae. It was described by the German entomologist Karl Leopold Escherich in 1905 based on specimens collected in South Africa, but is found worldwide as synanthrope in human housings. In recent years, gray silverfish have increasingly become an issue in indoor environments in Europe, especially in newly built houses with a stable climate beneficial for the growth and reproduction of this species. As a food generalist with the ability to digest the cellulose contained in paper and cellulose-based textiles like rayon, ''Ctenolepisma longicaudatum'' is considered a pest species in cultural heritage institutions like libraries and archives. Nomenclature Most authors have historically treated the nomenclatural gender of ''Ctenolepisma'' as feminine, but in 2018 the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature issue ...

Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Western and Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, and on the east by the Levant. The Sea has played a central role in the history of Western civilization. Geological evidence indicates that around 5.9 million years ago, the Mediterranean was cut off from the Atlantic and was partly or completely desiccated over a period of some 600,000 years during the Messinian salinity crisis before being refilled by the Zanclean flood about 5.3 million years ago. The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about , representing 0.7% of the global ocean surface, but its connection to the Atlantic via the Strait of Gibraltar—the narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates the Iberian Peninsula in Europe from Morocco in Africa—is only wide.
