You can't feel the mite crawling as they are very tiny. Scabies itching is more at night.. Lice and nits itching occurs in the day too. Also Scabies involving many sites of body not just scalp. Lice can be present only on scalp. Hope this was helpful. A proper examination and evaluation would be needed to comment accurately.
