A leaf of a young plant of Pinguicula primuliflora
.
Pinguicula
primuliflora
A small tick (1 mm) on the leaf
surface of Pinguicula primuliflora.
I often find this brightly orange tick (?) on the outside patio
table, especially on a windy day.
I suppose they fall from the trees nearby in our backyard.
