Odd bug. Found on my leg for the second time in a few days.
Thought it was a midge, but trying to squash it resulted in it
jumping
very fast, like a sandfly.
Google image search doesn't help.

Difficult to be anything but approximate with that image. Try
Tachyporus hypnorum http://tinyurl.com/pkydbsf , or Philonthus
marginatus http://tinyurl.com/nqtzhu2 (both are rove beetles
http://tinyurl.com/o2wdjg7, related to Devil's Coach Horse
http://tinyurl.com/obh84d4 ), or possibly Coranus subapterus,
http://tinyurl.com/nuzcxbj , a blood sucker.
Best I can offer.
None of those look plain enough.
Ask on uk.rec.natural-history
Flea off a cat? (I have 4)
http://entomology.osu.edu/bugdoc/She...s/Orders33.htm
Flea larva anyway.
No, it looked adult.
Your pic is of nothing like a real adult flea.
Much too long and thin for a real flea.
It was not a squirmy little caterpillar-like thing.
Adult fleas look nothing like that and jump, most insects don't.
It did jump.
They look exactly like that, this is a cat flea:
http://entomology.osu.edu/bugdoc/She...s/Orders33.htm
Your pic looks like the one in the top right. That's a flea lava, not
an
adult flea.
You pic looks nothing like the other two pics of adult fleas.
It looks like the bottom one.
Your original looks nothing like the bottom one.
Apart from facing a different way, it is identical.
Even sillier than you usually manage.
