Nice
There are a surprising number of fleas on "deer mice". I collected a large number from a nest I found and found that out while trying to ID them. You'll probably need to clear and slide mount, then find a good flea reference.

fleas
I can probably ID well-mounted, preserved, and/or imaged fleas. My keys are at work, so I can look at these images more closely on Monday.
