[factor-fiction]

"Melophagus ovinus, sheep ked, is a brown, hairy fly that resembles the look of a tick. This wingless fly is about 4 to 6 mm long and has a small head that is broad. The legs of the sheep ked are very strong and are tipped with claws. Sheep ked lives their whole lives in the wool of sheep. The areas of the sheep that sheep ked are most commonly found on are the neck, shoulders and stomach. If removed form the sheep, the adult females only live for 7-10 days. "
