Yikes! Kuto! (Louse!)

EXPLORE

 

I told several friends last Saturday during the Pinoy Macro anniversary that I have a photo of a louse and I was quite adamant to upload it because it was not a perfect macro. They urged me to post it nevertheless. I got the louse from a woman wanderer who was sitting near the gate of our house. She was removing lice from the head of her daughter. I told her I will pay her two pesos for a live one. I was expecting she would find a mature black louse. She gave me a very tiny one barely one and a half millimeter in size. The insect was still whitish in color.
