no ticks usely lives on plants and when you come nearby they go on your leg or arm and suck your blood(be carful the can also carry diseases) . Their bite is not painful at all so you wont realize that you were bitten. The can stay a few month if you don't get them out. And when they are done they would just jump off your leg and go on another plant where they will wait for a person or an animal to come.
