My wife pulled this Deer Tick off herself, after mowing our lawn the other night. We took it up to the County Agricultural Department for positive ID. It was, in fact, the tick in larval stage. Because my wife was its first "meal" there was no danger of Lymes Disease.
I shot the photo with the pen included as both a pointer and a scale reference. It is amazing how small this tick really is!
Time ticks ticks away..
So strange.. they scream!
They come apart so easily..
Why do they keep breaking?..

Sometimes I feel that life is passing me by, not slowly either, but with ropes of steam and spark-spattered wheels and a hoarse roar of power or terror. It's passing, yet I'm the one who's doing all the moving. ~ Martin Amis

It was a tiny deer tick, so I even paid a local clinic to tell me I didn't need to worry about it, yet.
Doctor seemed confident that if it was in me for less than 20 hours or so (likely there for <7hrs), It would likely not have given me lyme disease.
Photo by We Run Huntsville - Joey and I ran the whole 15+ miles together :) Since he's faster than me, we usually say good luck at the start and then he's waiting for me at the finish line. Glad I had a running buddy for this race...I needed it!
This is the first and only time I've ever found ticks on a harvestman. Taken back in 2007, this was a very early effort at macro shooting with my first DSLR, a new Nikon D40. I was just beginning to experiment with reverse mounting objectives from broken lenses onto the front of the normal camera lens. The combination used here was the Nikon's kit lens, an 18-55mm, with the front lens cell from an Underground Camera 135mm lens. This particular add-on was the first I came up with, and was absolutely the "kiss of death" when trying to get a sharp image. The complete lens might have been OK, but the front element used as a stacker was a very poor optical match for the 18-55mm. Every other objective I've tried was far better, with the majority being tack sharp. The Underground 135mm front cell was a dog, quickly retired from photography, now used as a loupe.
