That is a flea.
Because of the dry climate, fleas in homes in Colorado are rare, compared to other areas of the country. Most every flea in a home in Colorado comes from the den of an animal that provides more humid conditions, either fox/skunks (which support the flea Pulex irritans) or rabbits/squirrels (which support Hoplopsyllus species of fieas.)
Does this fit your situation - are there fox/skunks or rabbits nesting in the near vicinity of the building where these occur?
