Organisms such as ticks are arthropods, and all arthropods belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, members of which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.

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.

Commensalism

No. They require air.

No it is Multi-Cellular, and are porcupine balls pointy?

No a dog can't get a ar infection from a human. Humans can't catch ear infections from other humans either because ear infections are from yeast. Yeast forms when you have a moist warm environment so basily dogs ears. Yeast is like a bacteria of fungi.

Sounds like: Spider mites (Family Tetranychidae, Order Acari) are not insects; they are closely related to spiders, harvest men (daddy long-legs), and ticks. Unlike insects, which have six legs and three body parts, spider mites have eight legs and a one-part body. They also lack wings, antennae, and compound eyes. Individual spider mites are almost microscopic, yet when they occur in large numbers, they can cause serious damage. Dozens of species attack shade trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. If you have fruit out on your counter such as bananas or pineapple then fruit flies are a culprit. Also there are Noseeums (?) a tiny fly that are hard to see and can bite, but just pesky.

NO

it will but it will probably kill your cat too

Well all animals eat something!

Just like we eat all kinds of things from water to burgers to spaghetti.

When we look at ticks and think "Why do they drink blood?"

Its the same thing if a tick looked at us and said "Ewww, Why do they drink water?"

!

Usually, ticks go after blood.

Ticks stick their heads in humans and suck their blood. If you are removing a tick do not squeeze the end (the bloodsack.) This can cause the blood that the tick has gotton from other animals into your bloodstream and may give you a disease. If ticks are attached to you long enugh(approx. 1-4 weeks) they can give you Lyme Disease.

The whole ecosystem will go extinct. A animal relies on another animal to strive in society.

No, but the host does.

I'm seeing varied answers around the net. Some sources say 500 at a time, others between 1,000-3,000. So the real answer is, a super scary amount.

We spray ourselves from head to toe with Off! including our outer clothing. Tuck pants legs into boots and wear long sleeved shirts. Do a body check for any ticks when you leave the area.

I think so, ticks can carry Lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever, and a few other real nasty things but I don't know how this would affect a dog but if you remove the tick, which should only be done with tweezers by grasping the head of the tick and nothing else, put it in a plastic bag with the date of removal then store it in a freezer until you can take it to the vet or doctor to verify if the tick is infected then decide the treatment for the animal. These are the procedures for people as well only don't take them to a vet.

omg i just pulled one out of my hair today when i was watching tv and now im freaking out

Ticks sucking blood from a host organism is an example of parasitism. The tick grows from its host, but contributes nothing to the host organism.

If it has eight legs, that makes your creature a spider not an insect. (Or a lobster or crab, but I am assuming you are not speaking of shellfish.)

Beyond that, more detail is needed regarding:

* size of spider (measurement and proportion of body, legs) * location (country/state, and specify basement, flower garden, etc) * behavior (movement, feeding, speed) * web (if any) * markings

They can be around 420 micrometers in length.

It is very possible you received a tick bite. Tick bites stand out from other insect bites because it looks like a bull's eye meaning you will have a red bump with a rash forming around the bite itself, if you think you may have been bitten by a tick I recommend seeing a Doctor very soon.

Yes, If you think you have one inside go to the hospital.
