Signs
for Blacklegged Tick
This pest leaves little trace until it is on a body; the clearest sign is the tick itself, either questing on vegetation or already attached to a person or pet. Source: https://entomology.umn.edu/blacklegged-tick Questing means it climbs low plants and reaches out its front legs to grab a passing host. Once attached it feeds for several days.
