The well fed ticks make the differentiation of the genus a little difficult since we cannot clearly see the anal groove. My best guess is that they possibly belong to the genus Ixodes as we do not have a detailed morphology of the head and basi capitulum.<br /><br />Florida FanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-5991786843953501892016-04-14T10:30:51.903-05:002016-04-14T10:30:51.903-05:00They look like larval ticks, since they have 6 leg...They look like larval ticks, since they have 6 legs and one body part. <br />I would favor soft tick larva, in the Argasidae family instead of the Ixodidae (hard ticks).infectiologuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586839713045259026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-30035512842073006642016-04-14T09:42:00.606-05:002016-04-14T09:42:00.606-05:00Baby Ticks!
