Heterodoxus spiniger is a chewing louse.
Identification
The adults are relatively large at around 5mm in length. They are yellow and the tarsi end in two claws, enabling them to be distinguished from other lice.
Life Cycle
The female produces eggs, which can be found throughout the body of an infected host. Three further nymphal stages are required to produce a mature adult.
