Scourge!
Worst...tick season...ever!
Last year we went for a hike in the woods around this time and ended up covered in the little buggers. The rest of the season... working around the yard, walking to work...they weren't a problem. This year they are everywhere. Let the dog out before going to bed and he brings some back. Even the cat has become a tick transport vehicle.

Did you know that ticks are arachnids? Eight legged. That means they aren't insects.
The weird thing this year is feeling them. Waking up at 2:00am out of a sound sleep because something is tickling my hand. I thought they were more stealthy. That one didn't feel them creeping around on one's body. That one just found them inserted deeep into one's flesh - feasting.
Since i had my 3rd bed encounter, I'm glad something has happened to their stealth mode.
tick-ling
so far so good, none at AC, but Booda in Lander had one imbedded. My least favorite creature! Get a top view, look a lot worse.
