Flea larvae are long and maggot like in appearance. They have a distinctive brown head and a coat of chitinous spines. The presence of chitinous anal struts aids the larvae in vigorous motility as well as being a point for idetification. The mouthparts of the larvae are adapted to chewing as they feed on detritus and the droppings of adult fleas. These droppings contain blood from the adults feed and gives the larvae a deep red colour.
