looks similar to fly shown in the diptera.info banner, taken in SW London in July. |

Not really a tick (a very specialized acari). It is a mite. Mites, along with ticks, belong to the subclass Acarina. I know that very soon will be release a very good book on Acarology. For those who are interested take a look here: http://tinyurl.co... A Manual of Acarology, Third Edition (Hardcover) |

looks like the larva of a velvet mite Trombidium sp. or Trombididae. In late summer they are abundant
