Flea Larva

Typically found in carpets, upholstery, pet bedding, and floor cracks where organic debris accumulates.

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

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

They represent a significant pest infestation. While larvae do not bite humans or pets, they develop into adult fleas which are blood-sucking parasites that cause irritation and can transmit diseases.
