feedback2="'''Correct!''' The favourable climatic conditions in summer enable the flea to complete its whole life cycle in 3-4 weeks. From a control aspect, this makes it particularly important to treat pets monthly with insecticides, and to use a strategic treatment plan to ensure that all the life cycle stages of the flea are eliminated from the pet and the environment.[[Fleas|WikiVet Article: Fleas ]]"

feedback5="'''Incorrect.''' Fleas may complete their two larval moults in 1-2 weeks in summer, as this is a temperature dependent stage of the life cycle.

feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' The time from pupation to emergence of an adult flea usually takes around 6-7 days in summer, although in less favourable climatic conditions, this 'pupal window' may last up to 140 days.However, the minimum length of the full life cycle, from egg to flea in summer is 3-4 weeks.

feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' Developing adults can remain in the pupal stage for up to 140 days. The pupa is very resistant to desiccation and as such is an important environmental reservoir. The optimal conditions of 28 degrees centigrade and 80% humidity are more likely in summer, thus the usual time from pupation to emergence of an adult in summer is 6-7 days. The correct answer is that the minimum length of the full life cycle, from egg to flea in summer is 3-4 weeks.

feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' During unfavourable conditions the full life cycle of the flea can take up to a year as all stages of the life cycle are dependent on the environmental conditions. However summer usually provides the optimum conditions for flea development, and the correct answer is that the minimum length of the full life cycle, from egg to flea in summer is 3-4 weeks.
