===Identification===
  −
''Bovicola ovis'' is a chewing lice around 3mm in length.  It is reddish brown in colour, and has a single claw on each of its tarsi.
  −
 
  −
===Life Cycle===
  −
The female produces white eggs which can readily be seen by the naked eye.  The female can produce a large amount of eggs in a short period of time, so the infection can become severe very quickly.  The egg hatches into a nymph, which then undergoes two further transformations at 5-9 day intervals before eventually transforming into an adult.
  −
 
  −
The complete cycle takes around 2-3 weeks, and the adults are capable of living and reproducing for up to a month.
