🪲Crab louse
Срамната въшка, още полова въшка (Pthirus pubis), е вид насекомо, ектопаразит при хората, вредител на гениталиите, хранеща се само с кръв. Обикновено се настанява в срамното окосмяване на човека, и въпреки че не може да скача, тя може да живее и по други части на тялото, покрити с грубо окосмяване, като например миглите. Хората са единствените познати гостоприемници на срамните въшки, въпреки че близкият вид Pthirus gorillae заразява популациите на горилите.
