    Fairly sure they still exist in some of the less salubrious hotels I've visited.

    The link you originally posted was a direct link to the image. Copy n' paste error methinks. I do it all the time.

    Not sure if these are the same giant fleas, but a couple species called Pseudopulex jurassicus and Pseudopulex magnus are in the news right now, and the scientists say they had likely a very painful bite.
