Well aside form fleas, flies do have parasites. They are prone to having mites, and other endoparasitic vectors like twisted wing parasites (order Strepsiptera)
A flea has the ability to bite a fly if it so desired, but most fleas are prone to warm blooded animals, like birds and mammals.
This is an advantage simply because mammal and bird blood is very close to the surface whereas a fly's haemolymph is hidden behind a thick chitinous exoskeleton. The warmth from birds and mammals also makes it a more suitable habitat/host for the fleas.
Hope this answers your question!

Probably not, the chances are that a flea would not bite a fly because of its size. Inplus, a fly flies so it would be hard to reach it..

mainly flea bites if they're extra at the ft subject. Chiggers like wherein elastic is at. I dont suppose its a spider. Just put on white socks around the room and than see if you happen to see them to your socks.
