Identification of Tick Eggs
Tick eggs are tiny, typically measuring about 0.5 mm in diameter – the size of a poppy seed. They are usually oval or pear-shaped with a translucent or slightly whitish appearance, though this can vary slightly depending on the tick species. Tick eggs are often laid in clusters and attached to vegetation, leaf litter, or other surfaces near the ground. As they mature, they may become more opaque and take on a color closer to the adult tick of the species. The eggs are typically smooth and glossy in texture, and their color can range from pale yellow to light brown.
