Default What's this bug? What's making me itch??

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!
