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...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.

Lagging shift key.

Sure it's not a lagging finger? I do that. Also makes you type form
instead of from.

Not as bad as a terminal I once used that 'lagged' the shift key
badly.

We all typed (once): rm *.o on those. Once.

I do not understand.

I didn't think you would.


It's the English part I don't get. If the shift key lagged, you meant
to type rm 8.0, with a capital space, which is silly.


You really don't get it.


I know of no OS which differentiates between a space and a shifted space. You must be defining lagged incorrectly.

For the sake of decency and civility, and to keep it from getting sunburnt, he had a hat over his private parts.
A woman walks past and says, snickering, "If you were a gentleman you'd lift your hat."
He raised an eyebrow and replied, "If you were better looking it would lift itself."
