There is no variety of tick that can fly. Ticks wait in tall grass and shrubs, or sometimes in cracks and crevices in the ground, until able to attach to a passing host. Ticks do not jump or fly, and must be in physicl contact for the passing to a host to take place. Sometimes, however, ticks may drop from their perch and fall onto a host.
