I have fleas in the house..do the fleas die as colder weather sets in?
There is a image entitled "Flea larva showing red ingested blood", but flea larva do not suck blood? Or is this blood taken from consuming adult flea faeces containing blood? GBM ( talk) 23:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
The overview has a reference which contradicts the information given in the overview. An examples is that the reference says cat fleas can live on humans, the overview says they cannot.
Starting to assess what needs to be done to rewrite this article. Going to delete some of the references, add some more general information, and find a few new references. Since Wikipedia is such a common place for people to start finding information when dealing with a problem, it would be good to have a few more links to authoritative sites.

Please help me here...my roommate has a dog and a cat..there are no fleas on either animal.But,the vet says that the dog has a flea alergy.They both go outside..my roommate says that the fleas are cat fleas and that they do live on dogs.I say that they are probally bites from cat fleas from the yard but the cat fleas dont live on the dogs.Is there an answer for this question?Are the fleas bitting the dog and then leaving her body because she is a dog? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.175.22 ( talk) 17:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
On the page about cat fleas there is a nice image of a flea ;in fact under the image it states female cat flea.
I have a couple of issues:
1) My image that was loaded up previously was perfectly adequate & at least indicated where the genal & pronotal combs of fleas are located.
2) Entomologists use the genal comb as an aid to the identification between cat fleas & dog fleas.
In cat fleas the first & second spine of the genal comb are roughly of equal length whereas in the dog flea there is a obvious difference. if you look at the image there is an obvious difference of length between the first & second spine of the genal comb. In other words i am disputing the image is of a cat flea !
