The two ticks were both nymphs of &lt;em&gt;Amblyomma americanum&lt;/em&gt;. One of the fleas was a female &lt;em&gt;Ctenocephalides felis&lt;/em&gt; and other was a male &lt;em&gt;Pulex simulan&lt;/em&gt;s. Although all three ectoparasites have been reported from Arkansas hosts, we document C. felis from M. monax for the first time anywhere. We also provide a&amp;nbsp;summary of previously reported ectoparasites from this host.&lt;/p&gt;
