[Freeheat]

my guess( and its a total guess) NO

 

[Wood Duck]

No. Definitely not. I am not sure what it is but I am sure it is not a tick.

Almost looks like a bee or even a wasp in the early stages.

 

[jatoxico]

Hard to tell, six legs? Ticks have eight.

Yep - not a tick and my first thought was a small wasp. Cheers!

Three segments mean insect, not tic or spider. Could be a black fly hatched out of season; that would explain the blood.

Then that little bug is probably shaped somewhat like a pancake now.

Permethrin is an excellent bug killer! Let us know how that stuff works for you..

I need me some of that permethrin.

Here's yet another deer tick on me this season, this time an adult female. She was attached pretty good, but I got her out and called the doc. He called in some doxycycline with a refill, said if I'm gonna keep getting bit by ticks I better have it on hand. 200 mg. right after the bite is supposed to prevent Lyme. Hope so, I really can't deal with another bout of this thing.

Oh, yeah... your bug is definitely some sort of wasp.

And you told your wife when you met her you were a chick magnet, you get married then you turn out to be a TICK magnet. ;-)
