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

Best I can offer.
None of those look plain enough.

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.
WE have a dog, West Highland Terrier.
She has never had fleas as she gets the preventative treatment.
We have no cans of "the stuff" in the cupboard. We have a dog, not a
stinking cat.
If you have a dog then you have stinking animal by definition. Cats
don't smell.
Every house that I have been in which has cats stinks. And I've been in
some very posh houses.
Mine doesn't. No litter tray, cat is smart enough to **** elsewhere.
Same here. Two doors down, an old man who continues to try to shoot them
with a super soaker 500 water pistol. He's not fast enough though.
Peter Hucker, the unemployed ****** who loves to laugh at the old man down
the road.

door.
Peter Hucker, keeper of 4 cats, loads of parrots, can't afford to buy
disinfectant and has no hot running water in his hovel.
