Hystrichopsylla Schefferi
''Hystrichopsylla schefferi'', also known as the mountain beaver flea and giant mountain beaver flea, is a parasitic nearctic insect and a flea, belonging to the order Siphonaptera, the fleas. With an adult body length of as much as , it is the largest living flea in the world, and is native to the American Northwest. Though most members of the genus ''Hystrichopsylla'' are not strongly associated with any particular host animal and will parasitize insectivores and rodents generally, ''H. schefferi'' is monoxenously associated with the mountain beaver with which its range is coterminous. The fleas of the family Hystrichopsyllidae, along with the family Pulicidae, are the oldest of fleas in evolutionary history. ''H. schefferi'' can be distinguished from the very similar and closely related species '' Hystrichopsylla gigas dippiei'' by the number of spines in the pronotal comb, as ''H. g. dippiei'' has 36 and ''H. schefferi'' has 46.

Insects
Insects (from Latin ') are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and a pair of antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species; they represent more than half of all animal species. The insect nervous system consists of a brain and a ventral nerve cord. Most insects reproduce by laying eggs. Insects breathe air through a system of paired openings along their sides, connected to small tubes that take air directly to the tissues. The blood therefore does not carry oxygen; it is only partly contained in vessels, and some circulates in an open hemocoel. Insect vision is mainly through their compound eyes, with additional small ocelli. Many insects can hear, using tympanal organs, which may be on the legs or other parts of the b ...
