The sense organs on the antennae, cerci and terminal filament of larvae and imago of the silverfish <i>Lepisma saccharina</i> L., 1758 (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae)
The morphology of the sensillae in the first instar larvae and imago of the silverfish Lepisma saccharina L., 1758 (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae) was studied using scanning electron microscopy. In contrast with imago, sensillae of larvae of the silverfish were not previously studied. Coeloconic sensillae present in imago but absent in first instar larvae. Differencies between antennal sensillae chaetica and sensilla trichodea not obvious in the first instar larvae. «Rosette-like» sensillae, sensillae basiconica, trichobotria and spheroidal sensillae found in both larvae and imago silverfish.
