Tick drags with a weighted piece of felt or flannel can be used to monitor for ticks. After walking through an area with the tick drag in direct contact with vegetation, the number, identity and life stage of ticks on the drag cloth are counted. Pictured are Jody Gangloff-Kaufmann and Joellen Lampman of the New York State IPM Program, and Jerry Giordano of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Westchester County.

Mystery solved, sorta. I was brushing my black dog, Cleo, whose fur is long and matted. I thought this was a knot, but it was not. It was just hanging in her fur. Dead. Piece of skin still in its mouth. Or whatever you call that sucking thing.

I doubt if the Jackdaw is whispering 'sweet nothings' in his ear but might be giving technical advice about the 'birds'n bees' before the rut :0)
This charming woman here had a rather sinister side to her to say the least in the episode from Doctor Who entitled Tick Tock. Nice dress......but I dont think the face cream is working....

This is the tick I pulled off my hip Monday. The metal object is one leg of a tweezer that is approx. 1/8th of an inch wide.
A studio composition of two ticks from Katanga (DR Congo). They were positioned on the tips of grass (local) to illustrate their habit to find their way to a passing mammals. The largest is 3mm.
Studiostack from 89 exposures (Pmax & Dmap), taken with an MP-E65 at 2.2x, f4.5, 1/4s, ISO200, -1/3stop, circular polarization filter, the last 4 images gradually towards f8.0 (0"8s). Ledlights 5200°K (chinese brand 12w). The background is a picture from a magazine showing a forest with sky. It was positioned just 2cm behind the specimens creating an illusion of a natural background.
