This is a story of life and death, of a struggle ultimately lost. It's the story of an ancient tick's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. And the drama's all captured in amber.

Around 100 million years ago, during the Cretaceous, a tick wandered into a spider web. It tried to break free, but the web's owner caught up to it and wrapped it up in a bundle of silk. As if that wasn't bad enough, a drop of amber fell on the tick, encasing it for modern science to discover all these years later.
