A dipluran of the family Campodeidae

The Campodeidae are a family of hexapods belonging to the order Diplura. These pale, eyeless hexapods, the largest of which grow to around 12 mm in length, can be recognised by the two long, many-segmented cerci at the end of the abdomen. Abdominal spiracles are absent.[1]

There are at least 30 genera and 280 described species in Campodeidae.[2][3][4][5]
