Sounds like a new threat that I would have guessed would have required a real gale to produce! Anyway, instead of killing it and apologizing, it probably should have been collected and given to Andrew Hebda at the N.S. Museum for diagnosis. Others should know that NS Dept. of Natural Resources and the N.S. Museum of Nat. Hist. still want to get tick specimens from anywhere/everywhere in the province, and we naturalists should be spreading the word on this. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
