  1. Tick season is in. Careful all you forest bathers. Could find dozens if not hundreds of them yesterday, located on the end of plant stems on the edges of dirt paths.

  2. #TextureTuesday

    La semaine dernière, j'avais repéré, pour la première fois en 2026, en faisant "mon tour" 2 lézards se réchauffant au soleil sur la trogne de saule, "solarium" que je surveille depuis quelques années maintenant.
    Hier, j'y suis retourné avec un zoom 50-200 mm micro 4/3 soit un maximum de 400 mm en équivalent #FullFrame mais nettement moins lourd pour mes articulations.
    Un seul lézard et ce n'est que sur mon Mac que je me suis rendu compte de la présence d'une #tique sur celui-ci... #MaHantise

  11. Yesterday night my right thigh started itching. I found a black spot, thought it might be a tick, couldn't find the remover, and twisted it out with tweezers.
    It looked a bit like a tick, but I wasn't sure, so I left it in the bathroom to take a closer look this morning.

    Well... turns out I'm an idiot, and it's gone.

    How do I find a tick in my bathroom?

    EDIT: one of my kids found it. Damn' it is SMALL!

  16. A #vaccine for #LymeDisease could be on the horizon
    If approved, shot would be first vaccine for #Lyme disease in nearly 3 decades
    If regulatory agencies give the vaccine, dubbed #LB6V, the green light, it would help fend off Lyme disease in hikers, gardeners and others at risk for #tick bites.
    LB6V is the first shot to make it this far on the path to approval since another vaccine was pulled from the market in 2002, in part because of low demand.

  21. #FlyFishingFriday

    Crum Creek, PA

    I prefer the upper section of this creek for its better water, but public access is limited 😞
    This stretch of Crum Creek looks more open, so I should start checking it out 🤔

    Lots of tick activity, though 😞 I have DEET in my car always ready 🙂

    #TickIdentification: #NorthAmerica

    "Tick Identification is extremely important for a number of reasons; the most important of which, is figuring out what pathogens a tick may carry (and transmit). While it’s typically much easier to identify an adult tick, immature ticks can also transmit diseases.

    Of the 800+ species of ticks found throughout the world, only a few are known to bite and transmit disease to humans. There are nine are found in the United States. Naturally occurring populations of the ticks described on this website do not occur in Alaska, however, the brown dog tick is endemic to Hawaii."

  33. One thing I learned drawing this #sketch of #TheTick is that you really have to get his muscles in the right place. Drawing him is almost like drawing a nude model... a completely disproportional nude model that is.
