Ticks & Chiggers--a study

Damn!... just now pulled one off my shirt, it was a little one.

Now you have to change and wash those clothes.

We had three on us in the past two weekends. One Jessica was throwing out the window and dropped it in the car. I usually find them on me Monday mornings at work.

Bob, great photos. They show very clearly an easy way to identify a black-legged tick. The ventral (belly) view shows what's called the adanal groove, or an arch that surrounds the tick's anus. No other genus of ticks has this and it's a very quick way to ID what you have.
