It's bad enough that I'm finding little ants crawling on me all the time because of all the rain... at least they're not disgusting, almost unkillable, disease-spreading TICKS. This makes perfect sense in light of the fact that I have found ticks on me even when I've walked near vegetation, and not in it or through it. Revolting. I imagine them just sitting there waiting and then leaping. The stuff of NIGHTMARES Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.

racindog Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 wow! probably true. I noticed that in some area ticks are quite accurate as they drop from tall trees on you- so it makes sense that they would be using that ability then to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsieg Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The article says they can fly up to three or four body lengths. But the video looks like the flight is way longer than that.
