Description |
|
Tick is the common name of a class of small
arachnids. Ticks are external parasites living
on the blood of mammals, birds, and occasionally
reptiles and amphibians. Ticks can carry a
number of diseases, including Lyme disease, Q
fever, and canine jaundice. |
|
Biology/Habitat |
|
Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that are
often found in tall grass and shrubs where they
will wait to attach to a passing host. A tick
will attach itself to its host by inserting its
cutting mandibles and feeding tube into the
skin. |
