    Ay, Ctenocephalides felis though some feline affectionates may call it canis.
    One can find it easily whereas abandoned cats frequent. It may jump hundreds of times its own body size and pepper us as effectively as a pepper shaker.
    Somehow I have not been able to find one at the flea market nor "marche aux puces" nor "mercado de pulgas", at least in Florida.
    Happy New Year Everyone,
    Florida Fan

    Amazing and true: when a flea leaps, its acceleration is so great that the little insect must endure 100 G's.
    Happy New Year to all.

    If I lock my legs down tight
    If I wait till Tuesday night
    If I wait till the time in right
    I will launch myself into flight
    And jump a decade in one swipe

    Happy new years and Fleas Navidad to all
