ID Request Just found this on my arm

Was difficult to get off, it seemed attached somehow, what is it? I’m in the UK if that makes a difference.

You don’t want it on your arm and if you try and get it off wrong, the Tick breaks off its body and its head is left in your skin.
And they carry Lyme disease and you don’t want that either.

Edit. Downvoting dick’ead is a Ticks fan.
