Context, really. To be sure, I'd have to look at it under the microscope, but I'd say it's safe to ID it by this photo. D. andersoni is not found in NJ. They are western creatures as of now, found mostly in the Rockies and Pacific Northwest. There are some small morphological differences, but...

Can't hurt!

Dermacentor variabilis male.

We adopted them all out before we moved, so no worries about that.

Permits? You need permits to place a geocache? I can't think of a better use of state tax dollars. WTF?

Damn. Some of our caches are on that disabled list.

Twice--We once had a similar experience as you, JRogers, but I think it was because people thought we were hunting on their turf. (we were just geocaching). Then a very drunk guy soaked me and nearly tipped me out of my kayak somewhere on the Wading River, apparently thinking it was...

I find this sort of delightful: "to all correspondence relative to this machine, always mention the model number".

Well, there you have it. Oh well.

sigh. I am guessing that we will just quit flying ours if it's met with such issues. People shooting them down, people using them to breach White house security, mount guns to them, take photos of women in bathing suits on the beach... What a world we live in. Oh well. We're having fun with...

Well that just made my day, thanks for posting it! I admit that I got a bit of agita during the shots that put the drone out of the line of sight and close to the ruins. I don't think I will ever have the stomach to fly our drone, I am terrified of crashing it in a place like this where it would...

That's such an awful story. RSMF has been documented in NJ, too. I talked to a woman from Sussex county who had it and recovered. Scary stuff. It's transmitted mainly by Dermacentor variabilis, which are pretty common in some areas of the state. In the pines, it's been found in the lonestar...

Beechcraft Dutchess. Do you know anything about it? Is it on the ground? It kinda looks like it's flying because of the scale.

Preferably when you are doing the "Getitoffmegetitoffme" dance.

They look like tick larvae to me, but it's hard to see clearly.

Those aren't ticks?

That is remarkable video. Holy smokes.

You're right, apologies. I really don't want to derail the thread. It just struck me as maybe a little sexist. I regret replying that way though, since this is about a girl who died. What a sad, sad event.

I just...what?

I am currently putting information together on this very topic for a journal club at work. The confusion, as I understand it, stems from the non-specific tests done on ticks. There are borrelia species that ARE transmitted transovarially in the ticks, meaning the larvae are hatched already...
