Detailed explanation-1: -Thysanura is the now deprecated name of what was, for over a century, recognised as an order in the class Insecta.

The life stages are egg, young and adult. Most bristletails live out-of-doors under stones and other objects on the ground.

Detailed explanation-3: -The silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) is a species of small, primitive, wingless insect in the order Zygentoma (formerly Thysanura). Its common name derives from the insect’s silvery light grey colour, combined with the fish-like appearance of its movements.
