Cat flea head, SEM

Cat flea head. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis). One of the eyes (dark purple) is seen at the centre of the fleas head. The two purple structures at the front of the head are sensory palps, and below these are the mandibles, which are used to pierce the hosts skin and suck blood. Fleas usually only remain on the host whilst feeding
