Nits hatch 7-10 days from when they are laid. When a louse is first hatched it is called a nymph.
Day 9-20
The nymphs shed their outer shell (exoskeletal system) 3 times before the bug is an adult. The nymphs will very rarely leave their host’s head until mature & fertilized.
Day 17-20
A female adult only needs to be fertilized 1 time and is fertile for life.
Day 18-22
The female lays her 1st eggs 1-2 days after being fertilized. She can lay 3-5 eggs twice a day for the next 14-16 days. She can lay up to 200 eggs in her lifetime. If a fertilized louse moves onto a new head, the fertilized louse may thrive and lay nits almost immediately. She may not survive the blood type of the new host and die leaving behind a few hard to detect viable nits that will hatch to thrive on a new host.
Day 32-38
The louse dies having lived 32-38 days since being laid as a nit.
