Fleas are insects that have almost have the same size as flies. The only difference that fleas have from flies is that they do not have the ability to fly as they do not grow wings. Which is why fleas are known to be jumpers instead of fliers. Although, just like how flies do it, fleas feed on the blood of their hosts. They are known to target hosts such as mammals or any other warm-blooded animals that have fur or hair. And because of their flattened bodies, they are able to operate and feed on their hosts without being seen or detected. They are only able to flatten their bodies though because of the exoskeletons that they have which makes them very much flexible just like roaches. Their antennas deserve as their mouthparts in order to pierce through the skin of their hosts when they are trying to feed.
Fleas also have strong legs that allow them to jump for about 50 times of their actual size. The female fleas lay their eggs in batches which is why it can be quite alarming how they can easily multiply once given the opportunity to do so. While the adult male fleas focus on finding mates in order to reproduce. When a female flea has mated with a male flea, they are more likely to need protein, thus the feeding happens then. The danger happens when the fleas feeding off from a mammal is carrying dangerous bacteria or rickettsial diseases that create negative effects on the human body.
