tanstaafl. carpal tunnel Registered: 08/07/1999 Posts: 5549 Loc: Ajijic, Mexico	I found this bug residing on top of my hat after a hike in the mountains this morning. It is a bit over one centimeter in length. Can I assume that it is not a tick? tanstaafl. Attachments _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

Hmm.. nope, the one we had around here is different: a "Lady Bug" larvae. Attachments Description: Lady bug larvae Edited by mlord (21/07/2016 12:10)
