Flea Larva

Found in carpets, bedding, floor cracks, and pet resting areas where organic debris accumulates.

Larvae feed on organic debris, particularly 'flea dirt' (dried blood excreted by adult fleas).

Larvae are photophobic (avoid light) and burrow deep into fibers or crevices. They undergo three molts before spinning a cocoon to pupate.

Indicates a flea infestation. While larvae do not bite humans, they develop into adults that carry diseases and cause dermatitis in pets and humans.
