[edit] How to Catch
Like the Ant, a Flea can only be caught by a more unique means which is only while feeding atop another resident's head to which you must catch it with your Net just as you would from a tree or in midair. They will usually be complaining about how itchy they are.
[edit] Player
This is what you player says when you catch a Flea:

[edit] Animal Crossing: City Folk
I caught a Flea! Itchy itchy!

[edit] Museum
If you donate this bug to the Museum, Blathers will say this:
[edit] Animal Crossing: Wild World
Heed my words, (Your Player's Name)! Bathe often! Wash yourself thoroughly! And shampoo regularly! Allow yourself to become filthy, and fleas move in! Blech! The very IDEA... Now I feel itchy.
[edit] Animal Crossing: City Folk
Hoo now, have you ever had a chance to look at a flea up close and personal? They're utterly noisome! Especially vulgar are their flattened bodies, which allow them to wriggle into all sorts of places. Oh, mercy, I may need to sit on the floor for a moment. All this talk of fleas makes me feel rather woozy."
[edit] Real Life
In real life, the Flea is known as Aphaniptera(which means "wingless, blood-sucking insects"). They are descended from a family of flightless bugs known as Boreidae. They go through life stages similar to the common Butterfly which involve the egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages.
