Those are Platypsyllus castoris.
Crawl all over you but dont bite.

I don't believe I have ever seen a coyote belly deep in the water before. Impressive!

I meant she crawled all over me (especially right after payday). The one with bugs was a different girl, and may have even been Canadian.

Thats what happens when you pick them up at closing time.
You need to be a little more picky.
