Amazing close up Clement. Can't help but want to squash that tick, although the spider might not do well out of that sort of action.
Make your life spectacular!

Having been bitten by a Lyme carrying tick earlier this Spring myself, I can sympathize with the spider. Excellent close up and very well seen.

Attractive colors and fine details - I thought tick only fed on warm blooded creatures.

Poor thing- excellent illustration-I can't see it without wanting to help...which I'm sure would have been impossible.
