Very nice. How did you catch the tick?

thanks (:

there is a very simple way of catching them: you have to take a piece of white cloth and move it over grass. It should be done near or inside a forest - that's all. I catched about 4-5 of them within ~10 minutes. You can also use your feet or arms... (;
