The fleas are small, wingless insects that live as parasites on the bodies of animals.
Adult fleas have piercing-sucking mouthparts and the larvae chewing mouthparts.
Their metamorphosis is complete, the life stages being the egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae resemble small maggots and live in the soil or near the bedding of their hosts. The best way to collect fleas is to dust pyrethrum powder on a dog or cat and hold the animal over a white cloth or paper. The fleas will drop off and can be picked up.
