Flea
Flea is the
common name for any of the small wingless
insects of the
order Siphonaptera (some authorities use the name Aphaniptera because it is older, but
names above family rank need not follow the
ICZN rules of priority, so most taxonomists use the more familiar name). Fleas are external
parasites, living by
hematophagy off the
blood of
mammals and
birds. Genetic and morphological evidence indicates that they are descendants of the
Scorpionfly family
Boreidae, which are also flightless; accordingly it is possible that they will eventually be reclassified as a suborder within the
Mecoptera. In the past, however, it was most commonly supposed that fleas had evolved from the
flies (
Diptera), based on similarities of the larvae. In any case, all these groups seem to represent a
clade of closely related insect lineages, for which the names Mecopteroidea and Antliophora have been proposed.

Spesso è considerato uno dei bassisti più virtuosi della scena
rock (specialmente per la sua tecnica dello
slap nei primi cinque lavori del gruppo). Sporadicamente ha anche lavorato come
attore, in piccoli ruoli. Il soprannome "Flea" (che in
inglese significa "
pulce") gli venne dato ai tempi del liceo, quando era preso in giro da parte dei compagni, per la sua abitudine di trovarsi sempre in mezzo alle discussioni.
