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.

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.

It is the same bug,

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

I can tell they are the same bug,

We can see that they aren't.

You are incorrect.

Nope.

Look at the shape from front to back, look at its width, etc, etc.

That's where the two are completely different.

The point out the differences.

Your original is much longer and thinner than the cat flea, stupid.

No it isn't, perhaps them facing a different direction is confusing your
little brain.

It actually looked longer and slimmer to a standard cat flea to me as
well.

You told me the picture was too small to recognise. You have age as an
excuse. AFAIK Rod doesn't.

I could see the shape and it appeared longer and thinner. What I
couldn't see was the detail.
