Lice
Source: Free Encyclopedia "Wikipedia"
Lice (Anoplura) are insects belonging to the suborder Anoplura of the order Phthiraptera. All species are parasitic organisms that suck blood or body fluids. They were formerly classified as the order Anoplura (same scientific name).
Broadly, the term refers to all parasitic species of Phthiraptera. Besides Anoplura, it includes chewing lice (Mallophaga) that mainly feed on body hair or feathers (these were formerly classified as Phthiraptera and are still used for convenience but are polyphyletic and not a formal taxonomic group). Non-parasitic barklice also belong to Phthiraptera.
There are also non-Phthiraptera external parasites and organisms attached to animals called “louse.” In insects, there are three groups in Hemiptera: Cimicidae (bed bugs) parasitic on mammals, Aleyrodidae (whiteflies) sucking plant sap, and Psylloidea (jumping plant lice). Non-insect "lice" include fish lice (branchiura), whale lice (amphipoda), and plants like water parsnip called “lousewort.”

Most lice are a few millimeters or smaller, semi-transparent, and appear fragile but have a rubber-like elastic and durable exoskeleton. The body shape resembles chewing lice, but the head is small, and the mouthparts are highly modified into a sharp tubular proboscis composed of stylets and salivary glands, which pierce the host’s skin to suck blood via a pump in the pharynx. When not in use, the mouthparts retract into the head. Antennae have five segments, rarely three. They have a pair of compound eyes but tend to be reduced, sometimes as simple lenses, photosensitive spots, or absent. The three thoracic segments are fused; wings are reduced. Legs are adapted to grasp hair, with a single tarsal segment ending in one claw. The abdomen has nine segments; the ovipositor is reduced to two valves.
They undergo incomplete metamorphosis: egg → nymph → adult. Eggs are glued at one end to the host’s hair with a gelatinous substance secreted from the ovipositor base. The free end has a lid with a respiratory opening; nymphs hatch from this. Nymphs resemble adults and begin blood-feeding immediately after hatching. They molt three times over 1–2 weeks to become adults. Adults lay approximately 8–10 eggs per day after mating, totaling about 100–200 eggs in their lifetime (for human lice). Chewing lice lay fewer eggs, about 1–4 per day, around 40 in total. The adult human louse lives about one month; chewing lice about three weeks.
Fleas and lice Fleas and lice both parasitize humans and cause itching, so they are often discussed together. However, fleas undergo complete metamorphosis and are thought to have evolved mammal parasitism from a primitive group close to the order Mecoptera. In contrast, lice undergo incomplete metamorphosis and belong to the order Phthiraptera, closely related to Hemiptera, making them phylogenetically distinct. Many fleas can survive long starvation and often leave hosts, whereas lice typically spend their entire lives on the host and lack starvation tolerance.
In their life cycle, flea larvae grow in dust in room corners, while lice live their entire lives on the host. Therefore, frequent bathing and changing clothes can eliminate lice but not necessarily fleas, which can continue living. Hence, there is a saying: “Lice infest the poor, fleas the rich.”

Regarding the origin of the word “louse,” a prominent theory is that it derives from a corruption of “white worm.” Its old name is also “Kisasā,” and from the character (虱), it is sometimes called “Hanpūshi” (half wind child). Additionally, due to its shape, it was once nicknamed “Thousand-Armed Kannon” (a Buddhist deity) as seen in Yokoi Yayū’s “Hyakuchūfu.” During the large outbreaks after World War II, it was colloquially called “White Chiichi” in a slang style.
