Closest view of a tick youll probably ever see

This is probably the closest view of a tick you will ever see. I took these with a Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x lens. With this lens you can see the details on a grain of rice.

Oh dear Jesus, why did I click the link? I'm deathly afraid of ticks...if I have a phobia it's got to be them. I looked at the pictures out of curiosity and now I feel like I have bugs crawling on me....gah!

Re: Closest view of a tick youll probably ever see

I used to do a lot of hiking pre accident and regularly ended up with ticks on me, the big advantage of smoking cigars is being able to burn them off straight away

Re: Closest view of a tick youll probably ever see

Ew cigars rob!! blah!

And that is one nasty, engorged, horrible tick *lol*

I have seen ticks, and the most horrible time was when one crawled out of my dog's bed...while laying eggs...and being THAT big and engorged. I still want to throw up when i think of it! BLAH! I actually couldn't figure out what it was at first. We thought it was some huge beetle or something *lol*

Nice camera.
