What is the symbiosis for lice living on a scalp?

There really are no symbols that you have lice, but what you can do is look through your hair and if you find eggs then you probably have lice.


Do lice come from fleas?

No, lice do not come from fleas. Lice are transmitted through contact with another animal/human that has lice or with an item that has been contaminated through contact with an infected animal/human. For example, brushes can have lice in them and when used on more than one person or animal the lice can then move from one to another.

Compare incomplete and complete metamorphosis?

Most insects undergo complete metamorphosis. Each stage of the life cycle – egg, larva, pupa, and adult – looks different from the others. Entomologists call these insects holometabolous (holo= total).The larvae of holometabolous insects bear no resemblance to their adult parents. Their habitats and food sources may be entirely different from the adults as well. Larvae grow and molt, usually multiple times. Some insect orders have a unique name for their larval forms: butterfly and moth larvae are caterpillars; fly larvae are maggots; and beetle larvae are grubs.When the larva molts for the final time, it transforms itself into a pupa. The pupal stage is usually considered a resting stage, although much activity occurs internally, hidden from view. The larval tissues and organs break down entirely, then reorganize into the adult form. After the reorganization is complete, the pupa molts to reveal the mature adult with functional wings.Most of the world's insect species are holometabolous, including: butterflies, moths, flies, ants, bees, and beetles.Insects that go through three stages of change in theirlife cyclehave an incomplete metamorphosis. The first stage is the egg. During this time, the insect will hatch into a form called a nymph.The nymph is basically a small version of the adult insect. This is very similar to how a child looks like his or her parents. Nymphs usually have a thin exoskeleton and no wings. They eat the same food as their parents and live in the same place. As insect nymphs grow larger, their exoskeleton becomes too tight and they must replace it.Once a nymph outgrows its exoskeleton it will go through a process called molting which is to leave the old “skin” or exoskeleton behind. The new “skin” will harden and become the new exoskeleton. This will happen many times until the insect finally becomes an adult.Insects that have an incomplete metamorphosis life cycle include true bugs, grasshoppers, cockroaches, termites, praying mantises, crickets, and lice.


Can lice go through sheets?

This question is categorized under head lice. To answer that question, the answer is very likely no. Head lice are about the size of a sesame seed. Most sheets sold today are woven much more tightly than that to allow them to go through sheets. There is a SMALL chance head lice may transfer from one person to another if sharing a pillow or a fabric that has touched an infested person's head. The probability is minimal, but items such as sheets should be washed and dried at the highest possible temperature. I am not an expert on body lice or pubic lice, so I can only comment on head lice.
