    Why is that tick white like that, is that a empty sheep tick or do y’all have different varieties than over in NA? I’m mostly used to deer ticks.

        North America. Idk about ticks very well aside from the two I’ve seen around my whole life, deer and sheep. Then I learned about seed ticks (the hard way, covered in dozens and dozens), and at first thought they were a new kind I didn’t know about, but I think they are just baby deer tick (pinhead sized, yuck). Didn’t know if there’s varieties that aren’t around here I didn’t know of.

            I know, but I browse by all, and it was before I really noticed the comm or instance :p that’s why I was wondering if y’all have different varieties of ticks. Never seen one that looked like that before here, didn’t know if white ticks were normal, or if maybe it was a sheep tick or something that was tiny.
