What other insects lay eggs in your scalp besides lice?

In addition to lice, other insects that may lay eggs on the scalp include fleas and certain species of mites, such as the Demodex mite. Fleas can occasionally infest the scalp, especially in pets, while Demodex mites are common inhabitants of human hair follicles but are typically harmless. Additionally, some types of parasitic flies, like the human botfly, may also lay eggs on the scalp, although this is much less common.
