Claw of a head louse


Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the claw of a head louse clinging to a strand of human hair. The head louse is a parasitic insect which inhabits the hair of the head, gluing its eggs (called nits) to the shafts of individual hairs. It lives on blood, which it sucks from the scalp.
