Why do I hate ticks?  One mid-range (pinhead size) deer tick latched onto my right lower eyelid last evening, within 1/16" of the top edge.  After numerous tries I extracted the little horror, but the eyelid is nicely puffed up.  The bit of pain with each blink reminds me just how much I despise the critters.

I’ve already had 5 on me and 2 latched on. All deer ticks. No rings around the bites yet.

Had a visitor last night

Wow that was taken just after 9pm... not even late. They sure tear things up easily when they want to, I keep my head on a swivel in the tree fields but especially this time of year

Looks like there were 2 cubbies. I had just gotten home from the grocery store at 9pm too.

Got Lyme disease last September from those bastards. Didn't even know it other than feeling slightly tired.

@dendrite Those effing Noseeums (midges I guess) were brutel by Sanibel. I got mauled one evening and did not realize it until after midnight when the itch made me want to burn the skin off my legs. I probably had 60-70+ bites on my legs and right arm. Worst than mosquitoes. At least with mosquitoes you can see them.

Yup…the noseeums are the worst. Right up there with the peak of black fly season. Can’t do anything at night unless you’re in a screened in lanai.
