Fleas (Remnants/Parts)

Typically found on domestic hosts (cats, dogs), in bedding, carpets, or upholstery where animals rest.

Adults are hematophagous, meaning they feed exclusively on the blood of mammals and birds.

Fleas are wingless parasites that jump long distances to reach hosts; their life cycle includes egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages, often dormant until a host is sensed.

Risks include localized skin irritation, allergic dermatitis, and potential transmission of pathogens (e.g., tapeworms or typhus). They offer no significant ecological benefits to human environments.
