She's holding my alarm clock, which does not go tick tock, but that doesn't seem to bother her. Also, I think at the end of this she's identifying the camera as a tick-tock as well.
When he found out I didn't have food, he became rather ticked off. I decided sitting indian style was not a good idea! This is a very close shot
Tick Tock Diner is a typical New York Diner straight out of the movies, with great food at reasonable prices.

I went out on a salticid collection day with Robert, Marty and Ron. When we got back to Roberts house and were sorting the spiders Marty noticed a tick on him, and then I said I felt something on my head and bingo a quick check by everyone confirmed I had this nice sized tick in my head. So a treatment of pyrethrin in the form of lyclear was needed to kill it, the Qld giv website and Robert said it would fall out by itself but it was kind of annoying me so I pulled it out. It hurt coming out and when I took some high mag shots of it I can see why, look at its hypostome! Those little barbs make pulling it out painful! I don't really want to get one of these again, although I have to face the reality that I probably will with the rummaging through undergrowth looking for salticids.

The vet says it was the biggest one she ever saw and was suprised Fudge was still alive.
She's all better now.
I am getting all the gruesome tick pictures out of the way today, back to other arachnids tomorrow....The adult female Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum, can be identified easily by the white or yellow spot on its back.
