Who discovered the silverfish?

The silverfish, a small, wingless insect belonging to the order Thysanura, was not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as it is a common pest known since ancient times. Its scientific classification has evolved over the years, with early descriptions dating back to the 18th century by entomologists. The name "silverfish" comes from its silvery appearance and fish-like movements, but no single individual is credited with its discovery. Instead, it has been studied and classified by various entomologists over time.
