Fleas
Fleas transport themselves on rodents and other mammals, and usually remain on their hosts at all times. The most common species is the cat flea, which often feasts on cats, dogs and humans.
Fleas do not fly. Instead, they jump from one place to another. In fact, fleas can jump as high as 8 inch vertically, which is 150 times their own height.
