Previously, two species of Zygentoma have been reported from Estonia, both synanthropically. Ctenolepisma longicaudatum Escherich, 1905 is an invasive species that currently expands its range in Europe, but had no published records from the northern Baltic region.Ctenolepisma longicaudatum was first found in Estonia in 2018.

A brief overview of its invasion history in northern Europe is given.
