Fulfilling that promise we offer this article. This is not the most practical trap, nor is it small, easy, disposable, or any of those other things that seem to strike a chord with the American consumer, but it is effective.

I decided to queue up a couple of these for my iStock portfolio. No problem… that is until I disambiguated the keywords I was adding. One of the photos was of a macro shot of a deer tick nymph, so naturally the keyword “nymph” was applied. That’s when things went bad. The word nymph was mapped to three choices: “Nymph (Classical Mythology Character),” “Elf (Speculative Being),” and “Larva (Animal Stage).” Well, that is all fine and good, Larva (Animal Stage), is the best match, but a nymph is not really a larva. I am being pedantic; to some a bug is a bug, but not everyone sees it this way. To some the distinction is important, and a “bug” is not always a bug.

One was an entomologist for the State of Massachusetts, I took photos of him and the deer ticks he was hunting. The other was a couple for a child portrait series taken in a playground. That was a lot of fun. The child, almost two, was extremely cute. I haven’t advertised yet — this is a first. I plan to use MikeCherim.com for photo-related stuff now. That used to be my playground, but I have moved my experiments to this domain (no links were harmed during this process except… Feed Terminated, Seriously, Hundreds Wept).
