===Identification===
===Identification===
The adults are around 4-5mm in length. They have a dark thoracic sterbal plate, and all legs are of similar sizes.
===Life Cycle===
The lifespan of ''H. quadripertusus'' is around one month. The female lays white eggs, that stick to the hair of the host, in this case, particularly the tail. After between 9 and 25 days the eggs hatch into nymphs. The nymphs then transform into adults, which are commonly found on the head and tail.
The whole cycle, on average, takes around 2-3 weeks.
