    There are significant differences between the cockroach and silverfish insects in the following five aspects:

    1.Wing morphology: The forewings of the cockroach are specialized into very small leathery wings, and the hindwings are large, membranous, and often exposed outside the forewings. Whereas, silverfish insects do not have wings, or at least do not have wings in adulthood.

    2.Tail structure: The tail whiskers of the cockroach are round-shaped, and there are no ovipositors. The tail structure of silverfish insects is relatively complex, and its 11th segment has a pair of tail whiskers and a median tail filament, which is long and multi-segmented.

    3.Breeding environment: Cockroaches often live in crevices of tree bark, in decaying wood or under fallen leaves, and especially prefer damp and shady environments, such as toilets. The breeding grounds of silverfish insects are bookcases, bookshelves, bundles, floor cracks, gaps in old book piles and old books.

    4.Behavior: Cockroaches prefer damp and dark environments, and if they are at home, they are usually in the bathroom. Silverfish insects have negative phototaxis, so they often hide in dark places and come out at night.

    5.Body structure: silverfish insects are long, with 11 abdominal segments, and the 7th to 9th abdominal segments have paired spikes and well-developed ovipositors for vesicle females. And this is different from the earle.

    In general, there are obvious differences between cockroaches and silverfish insects in terms of wing morphology, tail structure, breeding environment, behavioral habits and body structure.
