Tick
Tick, probably Ixodes ricinus, the Sheep Tick, Deer Tick or Castor Bean Tick, larva, feeding on my left thigh. Acquired from Woodwalton Fen NNR, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire on July 20, 2023, photographed at home just prior to extraction. I'm pleased to say it came out alive, intact and crawling and lived out the remainder of its days crawling around inside a plastic specimen pot.
