Framed Print of Fleas (Ceratophyllus sp. ) mating, SEM
Fleas mating. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two fleas (Ceratophyllus farrieni) mating. The male, positioned beneath the female, grips the female using specialised suction pads on his antennae, and with genital claspers. This prevents the female from escaping and allows him to insert his penis. Mating can last several hours during which the male will stroke the female with abdominal bristles to subdue her. Fleas (order: Siphonaptera) are small, wingless, blood sucking insects that parasitize a variety of mammals and birds. The species shown here feeds on the blood of the house martin (Delichon urbica). Magnification: x40 at 10cm wide. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © POWER AND SYRED/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
