See this tiny speck?

On my monitor, the dime in this photo is the size of an actual dime. Notice the teensy black speck to the left of it.

That was a tick I pulled out of my arm this afternoon. I thought I had a big mosquito bite until I noticed the tiny dark spot in the middle. I got out the strong magnifying glass, and sure enough--it was a deer tick nymph.

I've read that the nymphs spread more disease because they are so hard to see. I believe it.

Here's an enlarged version of the photo. You can see that the "speck" has legs.
