Missed the last two theme days so the clock provided both the selfie and the multiple exposure. Three frames combined in camera.
Three Australian Paralysis ticks, Ixodes holocyclus. The brown shape on the left is a small granule of coffee. These ticks if left undected can lead to severe sickness and used to kill before an effective antitoxin. Many pets die every year from this parasites.
All of these plus two more, found later, were removed from me after working in the garden.

Yes, time for a change, indeed! Well not too much of a change but tomorrow my wife, son, his wife and little Joshua and of course myself are off to a beautiful hotel in the Highlands - just an overnight but we are all in need of some "chill-time!"

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
Ixodes sp., probably Ixodes ricinus, the Deer Tick, Sheep Tick or Castor Bean Tick, a larva, approximately 0.7mm long and with its mouthparts firmly embedded in my skin. To provide a sense of scale, the distance between the tick larva and the red spot on my skin is approximately 6mm. The larva was 'collected' from Woodwalton Fen NNR on August 10, 2022 and photographed at home shortly after discovery the following day.
Even if you have smooth skin, these tiny flesh-coloured larvae, scarcely larger than a grain of sand, are almost impossible to spot until the bite-site starts to become reddened and itchy. Although the majority of tick-borne infections are thought to be acquired from tick nymphs, a 2015 study in the US has indicated that larvae can also acquire infections via transovarial transmission from an infected parent.
Now, where did I put the tweezers...
Black-legged ticks that can transmit Lyme Disease, Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis are encountered in areas that maintain moisture, such as tall grass and wooded areas. By staying on trails and avoiding tick habitat you can avoid a tick encounter. For more information on ticks: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/whats_bugging_you/ticks/default.asp
Another (higher magnification) image of the tick mouth parts. This time, it's an 8 image stack at ~100X.
This was my cousins idea.
Sorry, another tea shot! But this is kind of different. I just don't happen to find any time for a decent picture! I'll do the tag when I take something I actually like. Hopefully over the weekend...
I hope you're all having a fantastic thursday! Mine isn't actually fun, I have to study latin. My professor oral tested me the other day and I did well, everything correct. I'm quite satisfied since I didn't study that well :)

It's from France, ticking down by my side now. I wonder how old it is.

Tick nymph in a dirty petri dish. No more than a mm in length but lost a leg in the battle of getting it off my leg. Close-up of its "tool" inserted; suction-cutting thingie surrounded by palps.

This pair of ticks seems to work together to increase the chances finding some fresh blood. :D

One creature that's seldom hard to find at WWF, or on any of our other local reserves for that matter. Or rather they'll find you...
