| | The human louse occurs in two forms, the body louse and the head louse, and these are very similar to one another. | | | In fact they can only be distinguished with certainty by their habits. | | | The skin of a louse is leathery and greyish, and the abdomen becomes much distended when full of blood. |

| | Having found a suitable place a louse will seize the host's hair, bore into the skin with its mouthparts and suck blood several times in succession, with only short intervals. | | | Crab lice can also occur in the armpits, in beards and sometimes on eyelids and eyebrows, and indeed they have even been found among the fine hair on the heads of infants. | | | The female crab louse lays about 25 eggs, each firmly attached to it's own hair. |

| | Pediculus humanus, the human body louse (approximate length = 2 mm). | | | Infestations with lice are not a serious problem (as long as the lice are not infected with a disease), but they can cause a number of uncomfortable symptoms, including skin irritations and intense itching. | | | Lice are spread from human to human most often by direct contact or contact with contaminated clothing, etc. Body lice are restricted most often to the human body and head (some authorities believe the head louse is a separate species). |

| | Unlike other blood-sucking invertebrates bearing the common name of louse, the fish louse is more closely related to lobsters, shrimp, and water fleas than they are to insects such as the human head or body louse. | | | Famous for their tenacious hold on a host fish's skin or gills, fish louse use small spines, hooked appendages, and a pair of large ventral suckers to latch onto their prey. | | | Although the fish louse poses no health threat to humans, it is of economic importance because their presence makes marketing a fish catch nearly impossible. |

| | These crustacean parasites are infamous for their aggressive attachment and feeding behavior, grasping tightly onto their hosts using small spines, hooked appendages, and a pair of large suckers. | | | Because of their rapid procreative turnaround, if left untreated, fish lice may quickly infest an aquarium, pond, or fishery and are therefore of major concern to the aquaculture industry. | | | A feeding louse will pierce and inject digestive enzymes into the skin or gills of a fish using a stylet -- a pointed, needlelike structure -- and then suck blood, mucus and enzyme-liquefied body fluids from the host. |
