Last Updated: 22nd February, 2020
Other small insects that might be mistaken for fleas that don't have wings are springtails, black carpet beetles, flour beetles and dog ticks. Although these bugs don't fly, cigarette or drugstore beetles look similar to fleas and have wings.

In this manner, do mites jump like fleas?
They are very small, but visible. They live seemingly in the dirt and rocks outside my home, but do come in frequently. They definitely jump. However, they do not resemble any flea photos I have seen.
Also Know, what are the tiny jumping bugs in my house? Springtails are extremely small insects, about 1 to 2 mm. They often described as tiny jumping bugs and their presence is indicative of problems with excessive moisture. They are often found in basements, kitchens and bathrooms. If you have springtails in the house, it could indicate a problem with mold or fungus.
Also Know, is there another bug that looks like a bed bug?
Booklice can look similar to bed bug nymphs (that is, young bed bugs). A primary difference, however, is that booklice have longer bodies. Their midsection is narrow with a wider head and lower abdomen. They will definitely look smaller than adult bed bugs and are lighter in color.
Do fleas look like gnats?
The fleas are 1.5 to 3.5 mm long, while the gnats are 1 to 15 mm long. The fleas have strong bodies flattened sideways and covered with sclerites. The gnats are delicate-looking small, long-legged insects with one pair of wings. Fleas have simple eyespots.
