Whats the difference between lice and fleas?

As the title says.

Looking through Sammys fur tonight and some found tiny brown specs. He doesnt seem to be scratching. Will take buns to vets anyway.

Does lice stay on the body or will they get on to the carpet or us?
 
Lice generally die quickly when off the body. They are generally tiny red specks that, if you watch for a while, you can see moving. Fleas are clearly obvious but can be hard to locate and you might see flea dirt before seeing fleas (which could look like lice, but not moving).
 
Cant get an appointment until tomorrow. Is there anything I can do for him tonight?

would lice crawl on to the carpet?
