Engorged Ixodes pacificus nymph, flat I. pacificus nymph, and I. pacificus larva collected 5/29 in Napa County.
Tiny vampires - pinky nail for scale.
Do your tick checks CA!

Sometimes you (literally) catch them in the act…
Always fun killing the vibe by separating mating Ixodes pacificus. 🤣

Male, Female, and Nymphal Ixodes pacificus ticks in a Petri dish.
Collected my first Ixodes pacificus nymph of the year on 1/14 in San Mateo County. Feels early…

I love it when #CAticks cuddle up in dead seedheads - they look so cozy!
