What Is This Bug?

this thing buzzed past me like a hummingbird and then sat on my raised bed wall for a while. the wood it's sitting on is roughly 1 inch wide. bug was about 2 inches long. what is?

please tell/write me that they're not ticks

i wasn't able to see clearly at that moment but when i looked at the photo back home, i saw these. Only today we removed 2 ticks and it's becoming disturbingly regular. If these are ticks on only one dung beetle, we are damned :/

Yesterday my son noticed these bugs on our keyboard. There were dozens in total. The pictures were the biggest ones. They were maybe the size of a ballpoint pen ball in total diameter (much flatter, obviously).

I assumed they were spiders. Wiped them up. And dumped them in the garbage outside.

Then I noticed dozens more, much smaller, still, along the piano.

I those up, too, this time with rubbing alcohol hoping pick them up and even kill them off.

But now I’m worried they were seed ticks?? Yuck.

Anyway. Anyone know for sure? This is in Wisconsin.

I have a couple more pics, but they aren’t much better. I should have taken a video…

What is this larvae? It's in Germany.

Dunno what they are, now they're taking over my trash can. Have one more picture in the comments.

Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn't really focus on it.
