17. Pretty sure about it. That's gotta be a stink bug.
And yes, if you step on a stink bug they do smell like almonds. I think we identified it, pretty much.

3. Mexican weevil?
Here's the link: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/beetles2.html

I always thought it was kinda funny the way they play "dead" when first coming across them. =)

4. It looks like a tick.
But it's hard to tell without knowing what size it is.

5. Well, it's got eight legs, so it's some kind of arachnid
Looks like some kind of spider. Abdomen is too small for a tick.

7. Are antennae jointed like that?
What the heck do I know? Do I look like some sort of entymologist?

13. I have to agree
On second thought, it ain't no tick. Looks like a weevil to me.

14. I asked cause I was worried about tick-ness
but I also doubt it. I'm in Colorado, and everyone says we don't have them here. Someone once told me they saw a tick in my hair, and I thought it looked like this, but they were visiting from the east, and could have brought it with them.. that one at least, but that wouldn't explain this guy.
