Never thought I'd find a tick in the wild! Wild meaning not on our pets or us. Found it on a square piece of wood (the kind used to make the legs of a deck or porch) while spraying for fire ants. Appears to be a wood tick, hence the location it was found.
Much more worrisome are the deer ticks, but haven't taken any off the pets in quite a while... guess the deer are plentiful this year... I can tell because the deer have stomped a path through the understory of the woods behind our house. They even use the walking path i created from their previous stompings a few years ago. Now i have another path to clear... lol...
I had prettier pics planned for today but this is really representaive of my day. Third consecutive day feeling something crawling around my neck and pulling one of these little buggers off. We are infested right now. Working on a better strategy to not get them when I walk the dogs. This is our 3rd year where we have given in and are using tick meds on the dogs. As for the shot, I pulled it off, stuck it in a container, grabbed a piece of paper and tried to photograph it. It would not stop moving and I had a hard time not squishing it right away. This is a crop of the original shot to better fill the frame. The tick is around 2-3mm.

She was none too happy to have a camera shoved in her face, but she wasn't going to risk losing her spot on the flower bud to do something about it.
Counting down the days until summer!

I allowed it to walk on my arm for a few seconds so I could make a picture. then shook if off. Photographed in the Perch Creek Habitat, near Sarnia, Ontario.
I´ve never seen a tick before actually waiting for its prey (me in this case) like this one.
That´s fascinating about doing macro: You discover a whole new world by observing and looking close, and staying at the same spot for some time.
I took Ol'Jess out to Catcott Lows today to see what we could see... Blackcaps, Tree creepers and JCBs... And several Common Lizards basking in the sun, I was surprised to see Ticks on the Lizards, but it's not uncommon, they normally attach themselves to the body just behind the front legs...This poor little guy has got one in his ear.
After an afternoon in the bush stalking a "Greater Yellowlegs" shorebird, I was covered in dog ticks. (20+) Pictured here is where I dumped all equipment and clothing. Two ticks had breached the last line of defense - my boxers. I found two on my body in places i will not specify.
So the reason for this photo is a warning - be careful out there! I have decided to spray my bush clothing with Permethrin. I usually try to avoid insecticides - but deer ticks are BAD.
I crawled down into the little ditch along the siding towards the NYS property. I walked out and had ticks on my bag.
I apologize if this picture grosses you out, but I’m sharing it as a warning to other dog owners in Ontario. Tick season started early last month, about two months ahead of schedule, and I’ve already discovered 4 ticks on Rusty including this beast I found today attached to his ear. I decided to treat Rusty for ticks in mid April after finding 2 ticks early on, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. We have a vet appointment at the end of May to test for Lyme Disease and I may ask about a more effective alternative. Currently Rusty is being treated with K9 Advantix II, a topical parasiticide.
I am a complete & total nerd.
