what color are the eggs for head lice
Head lice are small, wingless insects about the size of a sesame seed which infest the hair. Head lice are clear in color when hatched, then develop a reddish-brown color after feeding. Head lice lay their eggs (nits) close to the scalp but can be found anywhere on the hair shaft. The nits are small, yellowish-white, and oval-shaped and are attached to the side of a hair shaft usually less than a half inch from the scalp. Most often nits can be seen in the hair behind the ears or the nape of the neck.
