Read some tick experiences by Commons photographers here --Richard Bartz (talk) 11:00, 26 April 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Support hmm...tasty. This one is fresh from your dogs fur I guess and not from your...ah whatever. Your story shows again what risks commons-photographers take to make good pictures. I once got bitten in my hand by a horsefly while taking a photo. I saw the fly on my hand but didn't remove it because the photo was more important. Result was a big swollen hand that had to get treated with antibiotics. Though after reading your story I am happy that this fly didn't bite me somewhere else. --AngMoKio (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
These little suckers are aldo dangerous. In my country they transmit a disease we call 'fever of the tick' which may cause extremly high fevers. During summer most of them are infected! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request When you guys see an image as encyclopedic as this, please make sure to include it in its appropriate article at your home language wiki. This wasn't used at en:wiki or es:wiki, but I just placed it in tick (en:wiki) and Ixodoidea (es:wiki) due to its amazing EV. And just a note, it seems there's a spelling error here. Based on the en:wiki article, it should be Ixodes ricinus. ~ UpstateNYer 05:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment But don't forget Wikipedia is not a trusted source. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 12:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yes, but a quick Google search confirms it (did you mean Ixodes ricinus?). UpstateNYer 22:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- very well done technically & definitely an attention-grabber. i hope it doesn't make poty, tho; in that area, i prefer more attractive subjects! :P personally i'd rather not have the little 1mm scale marker on the FP version, & maybe a little tighter cropping bottom & right; but for educational use, the utility of such things is obvious. this one i'll vote for without reservation Lx 121 (talk) 05:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
