Looks like a deer tick.
Deer tick.
deer tick images.
Don't know if this comes through or not, but if not, you can Google Deer tick images . When the illustration comes up, click on the image next to the penny. Check the bottom row and I think your mystery creature is second from left.

What is the scale of size? Ticks are little things, that sucker looks big enough to fight back

Could be you are right,, Wookie, but what is it was the question, not what it ain't!

It's a spider.
I live down here in the Bush, and you don't have to look far to see all sorts of strange insects and spiders.
I don't even bother trying to identify them. I actually hear they pay good money for unusual specimens.
Gotta look into that, I could make fortune bug hunting.

Wookie, spiders have segmented bodies--this creature (tick) ain't segmented.

Cotton, I thought you were going to give the size of the creature. You can tape it to a piece of paper (with clear tape) or put it in a box and send it to the nearest College Biology Department. They can tell you what it is.
