They are from eggs laid by an insect called a louse. See the Related Link.
The possessive form of the singular noun louse is louse's.example: A louse's eggs are laid close to the scalp in cold climates and farther down the hair shaft in warm climates.
Nits are the eggs laid by adult head lice and do not contain any lice themselves. Each nit typically contains one developing louse embryo. Once the egg hatches, a young louse, called a nymph, emerges. Therefore, there are zero head lice in a nit, but each nit can eventually produce one louse.
The egg of a louse is usually called louse eggs and attaches on the human hair.
A single female louse can lay around 10 to 15 eggs, known as nits, each day. Over its lifespan, which typically lasts about 30 days, a louse can produce several hundred eggs. These eggs attach to hair follicles, making them difficult to remove and contributing to the persistence of lice infestations.

Adult lice mate through a process where the male louse transfers sperm to the female louse. This usually occurs on the host's scalp where the lice lay their eggs. The female louse then lays the fertilized eggs, known as nits, close to the scalp to continue the life cycle.
200 to 600 eggs can be laid
