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

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...2InsectOrders/

Orders33.htm



4 fleas or 4 cats?

To make sure the fleas never reawake to live in your house then I
suggest Indorex. The fleas and their larve can lie dormant in carperts
etc for a while.

It was the only answer when I fostered a flea infested moggie.

Noted. So you spray the 500ml aerosol all over the house?



On all carpets etc.

In this case it was only one room, as that is where the foster cat
slept/lived.


WE have 4 or 5 cans of the stuff in the cupboard.


Your capitalisation made it look like you were going to write ner ner ner ner ner at the end.

It ate her.
