The Munsey offices are up close to the roof in the flatiron building. The Fiction Factory John Milton Edwards I'd like to smooth this thing over, in some way, said a flatiron, earnestly.
Well that is kind of a loaded question. Lice can really be many colors however an adult bug is normally dark colored, but can kind of morph into and do a color change to blend in well with your hair. The same goes for the color of the lice egg. We have seen all kinds of colors of lice eggs.
Living lice eggs tend to be pale white. Dead lice eggs are more yellow. They crawl fast (up to 12 inches or 30 cm per hour â that's fast if you're the size of a sesame seed!) but do not fly or jump. An adult louse can be up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) in size and is pale grey or brown.
