  9. Life History • Life Cycle • Female fleas lay eggs in host’s hair • The egg drops off and hatches into a tiny, hairy worm like larvae. • Larvae pupate and new adults find a host immediately and eat • They need blood to survive and produce eggs.

  10. Life History • Care of young: Fleas don’t care for there young they lay there eggs and leave • Special adaptation: Some believe the third leg was an adaptation so the flea could jump easier and faster, but there's no hard evidence • Resent studies: there are no resent studies that I could discover
