Cat Flea
Ctenocephalides felis
Adult cat fleas live in the fur of cats, dogs, and other mammals, taking blood meals with piercing mouthparts. They move rapidly through hair and use powerful hind legs to leap onto hosts or between nearby resting places. Although wingless, an adult flea can jump many times its own body length.
