No problem!
Did you keep the specimen or release it?

Released this one
I'd be happy to keep ticks for you in the future, especially if it helps with ID. However, I'll be moving to the northeastern US soon, where the tick fauna is perhaps less interesting :)

Yes please!
I'm just up the border in Webb County, so I'm trying to collect whatever ticks I can. Even though diversity might be lower I'd still be interested in northeastern species, both ixodids and argasids :)
