Hello all,

Does anybody know what this bug is? I had lots of them crawling on my
arm when I came inside from the garden. The photo isn't clear, but
hopefully my hand will provide a size reference..

Could this be what is giving me itching bumps? I asked the doctor
about them yesterday and she thinks they're from fleas. The thing
is, I get them pretty much everywhere except my feet, hands, and head
and I would have thought the ankles are a perfect place for flea
bites.. I also only get a few at a time, though while I have them
they itch like crazy. :P I would greatly appreciate any help!

Difficult to tell from that pic, but it might what I always called a
"thunderbug" or thrips:
