Adult fleas have no wings are covered in little spines and are approximately 2.5 millimeters or 1/16 inch long. There mouths are structured to cause piercing bites on both animals and humans. Adults are the parasites that draw blood from the host. The flea larvae contains undigested blood which is from the feces of the adult flea. It will feed on organic debris but the adult flea blood is it’s choice food.
