Tick
Tick, probably Ixodes ricinus, the Sheep Tick, Deer Tick or Castor Bean Tick, nymph, crawling across the instep of my left foot. Woodwalton Fen NNR, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire. Sunday 9 June 2019.
It was way too warm for anything other than sandals again on Sunday, so inevitably I picked up rather a lot of these. I pulled three out yesterday; two from my right leg and one from my stomach, but all died during extraction.
