Day One Hundred and Thirty-Five: What Makes You Tick

Today continues my theme of sneaky creatures from around the yard. I found this little guy (seen here in a compilation of multiple exposures) climbing up the back of my neck while I was working today.

He had yet to bury his head in my skin, so I did what any rational person would do: I sealed him in an envelope and brought him home so I could take his picture.

This little blood-sucker probably hopped on Farley or me at the dog park hoping we would be gracious hosts.

Most of the time I love hosting guests. I am less gracious with guests of the parasitic nature. You can consider this picture his memorial.
