This is a cuticle layer of a plant.
The cuticle is a non-cellular protective layer covering the outer cell layer of the green, aerial parts of land plants. Cuticles protect plants against dessication, UV radiation and various kinds of physical, chemical and biological agents.
this is a modified leaf of a plant. A normal leaf is assigned some specific functions.

This picture is not that clear but its a picture of a tic. A tic is an example of a parasite. Parasites lives in a close relationship with another organism, its host, and causes it harm. The parasite is dependent on its host for its life functions. For example, viruses are common parasites. The parasite has to be in its host to live, grow, and multiply. Parasites rarely kill their hosts. A common, well-known type of a parasite is a tic. It is possible for humans or their pets to get them. Tics attach themselves in the lining of the small intestine, and cause diseases, and malnutrition as well, as they eat the nutrients and keep them from going to the host.
