unknown insect

[Niklas Wahlberg]

Sounds like you found a tick chock full of blood. Was it grey? Do you have 
a dog? If it was a tick, you would have found that it had 8 legs rather 
than 6 (like insects have). By putting it outside, you've just helped make 
hundreds or thousands of new ticks!

Cheers,
Niklas
