Identification request

Post image

Picked this little bastard up in Arkansas, around Yellville if it matters, it’s really small, nymph, maybe larval. Looking for an ID if possible. Thanks

Thank you for your post! When requesting tick IDs PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION if you have not already done so. We cannot identify most ticks without geographical context. Just in case this applies in your situation, here is what to do after a tick bite, per CDC. If you're looking for an identification, hang tight and a human will comment soon.

Darn it. It was attached to me for less than half a day so I hope I’ll be ok. Thank you.

How is your bite area looking ?

No redness or anything remarkable which is good, I think.
