No lice do not fly, they crawl. Unless you find live eggs or lice in your hair don’t rely on itching to tell you there are live lice present. Check close to the scalp and make sure you see either live eggs or lice before you treat yourself….

Do lice have wings?

Q: If they are small bugs like lice but they have wings, but don’t fly, what are they? They are kind of striped and I think my sis got them from trying on a costume.

Q: They are brown/black and have wings. The eggs look white like lice eggs. Some we noticed are actually flying

A: My son had something like this nearly two years ago. However, we did not find any eggs, just the bugs. I treated him as if it was regular lice. One treatment and they were gone! 🙂 For lice, I personally do not use the store-bought stuff. Too many lice are resistant to it. I wash all the bedding and tumble dry, vacuum the carpets and furniture. For the person, I soak the head and hair in rubbing alcohol. Just don’t get it in the eyes and remember it is flammable. After saturating the head, then I rinse and shampoo with regular shampoo. It kills the lice. I use a good lice comb called the LiceMeister. It works great and does not cost a fortune.
