Larval Ixodes. Note the six, rather than eight, legs.
Baby ticks!
Larval ticks, either Ixoides or Ambylomma.Can't see the scutum or anal grooves to be sure.

I vote Ixodes, bottom most right one can squint and see an anterior anal groove I think.
So should these be sent for Lyme PCR or DFA?
Larval Ixodes Spp you can see Anterior facing u-shaped groove
Borrelia is not transmitted from mother to larva so No need to do Lyme testing FP Burlington, VT
Hard ticks - larval stage.
