What do Ticks Look Like?
Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that belong to a variety of species, which can have colors ranging from grayish-white, brown, black, yellow, to reddish-brown. If you want to recognize an adult tick, look out for their eight legs, small and flat shape, and their ovular body.
Once they feed on the blood of their host, they become engorged and swell in size. While ticks usually inhabit wooded and bushy regions, they can be brought indoors by pets or humans on shoes and clothing. Like spiders, ticks can pose a threat to human and animal health.
