They like grassy areas including low brush, trees woods including oaks.

The nyphyial ticks (size of a poppy seed) love the debis from decaying trees, in addition to pine needles leaves. Of course is necessary to have plenty of potential hosts to attache to IE: mice rodents dear, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, horses goats, lizards, and of course people. The feeding of blood victims is necessary for there life cycle, to enable them to survive. Larve, nympths, on to youg age into adult life.

They wait on the edges of grasses, waiting for any movemet, so they can be ab;e to hitch a ride. They have sharp little teeth, in addition to a type of sticky substance allowing them to stick, until they find their favorite spot, for their "new digs" They like moisture, warmth of a body, tender skin, wwill stay where they must.

I AM NO EXPERT, AND ONLY RECALL THE ABOVE, from my memory frim my researxh.
