"Exploring the microcosm of human parasites, this collection showcases various stages of the Head Louse (Pediculus humanus capitis): an egg (Picture No. 10873637) nestled on a strand of hair, adult lice (Brackenridge Field Laboratory, Austin, Travis County, Picture No. 10873636 & 10873638), and a dorsal view of the male Body Louse (Pediculus humanus var. Corporis, Picture No. 11675500). These tiny creatures, often misunderstood, have been our unwelcome companions throughout history. From their intricate life cycles to their impact on human health, let us appreciate the fascinating world of pediculids." (Picture No. 10855570 shows a human flea, not a louse)
