It has different inverted claws. It will get a good grip to walk along the hair follicles. They bite humans and live on the blood derived from scalp skin. If you do not take care of your scalp and hair, you may be infested with head louse. Oily and humid hairs, this is the environment they look for. A female head louse lays around 50 eggs per day. This process she continues till some days. Then after some days, the eggs are hatched. The nits become nymphs and crawl like adult lice on your scalp. Thus this process will help the lice to multiply. You can see them sometimes on your neck or behind the ears. They are wingless.
