Physiological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 83-95, June 2022., 2022 Bee lice attach to their host's surface using highly modified claws. The overall morphology of the tarsus produces strong attachment, with average safety factors (force per body weight) around 1130. The tarsal chain is protected with lateral stoppers against overflexion, but also allows for the fast detachment.
