Description
This is what happens after a really really boring Parasitology lecture. I guess it's funnier when you've been subjected to hours of lectures/videos about the wonders of the cattle tick. It's sort of two injokes rolled into one.We always joked about the critters we find in Veterinary Parasitology being really scary Pokemon with various horrifying moves, and we came up with them to help us learn.
I don't think anyone thought I'd actually get around to doing it though. Demodex (eyelash mite) is soo next. Followed by some form of tapeworm.
I think I'd run away if someone threw even a normal sized cattle tick at me. A giant one would involve lots of flailing.
Over a year later - Yes, I have now made an eyelash mite! Over here --> [link]
I've also done a hookworm, but it's on another computer at the moment.

Jealous that you're in parasitology
Really adorably drawn tick and I appreciate the accuracy, but that's to be expected of someone in the field. Other artwork of ticks frequently confuses them with fleas or beetles...

A lot of people found it mindnumbingly boring (lists of creatures and their life cycles) but it was one of my favourite subjects. Totally agree about most artworks mixing them up as fleas!
I have demodex and hookworm fakemons coming up soon...

It's also weird how many cartoon fleas just look like made-up insects or little humans...or have wings. It should be fairly easy to look up pictures and work from there, but few people seem to!
