Nomad Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Never much dealt with them where I hunt , so I’m somewhat unfamiliar with IDing them . Now where I live in Webster there’s many ticks although we seldom deal with them where I am ,recently I’ve started to run on a trail , an old rail road bed, so, pretty wide , it’s mostly gravel, dirt and the “ grass “ is mostly matted down . I know ticks wait along trails in the grass ,but this seems like a somewhat unlikely spot ? After running the other day I cut the lawn which was pretty high . When showing I saw a small bug on the shower curtain, when I killed it , it was pretty bloody , wife found the bite mark on my back , I found another on the floor of the tub . So not sure if from lawn or trail . Today I found bug # 1 in kitchen , when I went to put it in a baggie ,it was hopping , I’m guessing a tick ? Pic #2 was two mornings ago, I figured it was a small spider by the shape and movement . Thanks Edited May 28, 2020 by Nomad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
