Bird Flea (specifically often identifying as an egg or translucent larva)

Bird nests, poultry houses, and occasionally indoor environments near nesting sites.

Larvae feed on organic debris and adult flea droppings in the nest; adults feed on the blood of birds.

Larvae are photophobic (avoid light) and seek out dark, humid crevices. They undergo three larval stages before spinning a cocoon to pupate.

Potential risk of bites to humans causing itchy red welts (dermatitis). They do not live on humans but can briefly bite if their preferred avian host is unavailable. No ecological benefits to humans; considered a domestic and agricultural pest.
