That's the American dog tick! These little bugs are reddish-brown and have a flat, oval shape. When they've had a good meal (we'll get to that later), they can become almost as round as a marble. And eventhough they're called 'dog' ticks, they aren't just found on dogs.  \nSpeaking of meals, let's dive into what these tiny creatures eat. American dog ticks aren't picky eaters; they feed on the blood of various animals including humans, dogs, and even some birds! These ticks find their meals by waiting in tall grass or shrubs and latching onto any critter that brushes past. It's a sneaky way to find dinner, but it works for them.  \nNow that we've talked about their meals, let's look at where they live and their life cycle. These ticks are found throughout the United States, but they especially like areas with little to no tree cover. The life cycle of an American dog tick includes four stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. In each stage, they need a good meal of blood to grow and move on to the next stage.  \nYou may be wondering about how these ticks interact with humans and other animals. While they can be a nuisance due to their habit of hitching rides and feeding onus and our pets, they also play a role in the food chain. Various animals, like birds and spiders, eat these ticks, and some even use the ticks' discarded exoskeletons for their nests.
