Ghostfishes are quite small insects. As an adult they can be approximately 0,8 cm long. Like it’s name indicates, it is almost ghostly pale and blond one-coloured insect. Its eyes however can be seen easily. Ghostfish has three long hairs in its back end. These hairs are almost as long as the ghostfish itself. Ghostfishes prefer dry environment, which makes modern buildings powered by central heating, ideal for them to live and breed. Suitable food is also easily available there. Ghostfish (like its relatives) eat for example organic food and dead insects. Ghostfish move fast and are mostly active at night time, which makes them hard to encounter. You can easily separate Ghostfish from its close relatives with their main colour. Ghostfish is very blond. Others are darker or silverish.

Ghostfishes as well as Long-tailed silverfishes like dry environments.

You can encounter Ghostfish in couple of ways
