Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis). Piercing mouthparts enable the flea to pierce the skin to feed on the dog's blood. Its powerful legs are adapted for jumping. Fleas only remain on their hosts whilst feeding. Magnification: x46 when printed at 10 centimetres tall. | |
