The Tick and the Spider

Looking out the window, I saw this tick get tangled in the spider web. The spider came down to investigate, saw what it was, and decided to leave. The tick broke free if the web and also left. View Large

Well that's too bad the spider didn't take the tick out. Ticks are just plain nasty imo. Nice collage Harry.

@webfoot Thank you Paul, I agree with you

Wow...that is a super cool sequence!

[Harry J Benson]

@samiam Thank you Sam, I was surprised when the spider immediately turned and left

[Sam-I-Am]

@hjbenson Me too! I would think a tick wouldn't be all that intimidating to a spider!
