Hi Christina, The easiest way to preserve them would be to place them in a small vial and fill the vial with 70% alcohol (Ethanol or Isopropyl), then seal the vial.

I need help to identify one silverfish from my pest monitoring program at the museum where I work. Normally I capture them dead and in a bad shape and this time it is alive and maybe it can be IS to species level. Yesterday I caught 2 alive, here is a picture of one of them, in attachment. What's the best way to preserve them to further id, keep them dry, or they can be preserved in alcohol?
