Pesky insect (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

gnat

flea

(Other definitions for flea that I've seen before include "high-jumper" , "Little jumping insect" , "Blood-sucking parasites" , "Tiny circus performer?" , "Small blood-sucking insect" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Newsday, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, The Mirror and The Wall Street Journal.
