Turkey Mites!? No, Lone Star Tick
September 4, 2008
Lone star tick larvae, also called seed ticks, are very prevalent at this time, particularly in the southern third of Illinois!. Many local residents are referring to them as turkey mites, blaming increasing wild turkey populations for their abundance!. Although lone star ticks feed on most mammals and ground-living birds, their abundance is more likely due to abundant rainfall this spring!.
Ticks, particularly larval ticks, are very susceptible to dry conditions and low humidity!. These larval ticks are roundish, six-legged, and about the size of the period at the end of a sentence!. Ticks do not get eight legs until they molt to the nymph stage and retain eight legs in the following adult!. Unengorged, adult lone star ticks are flattened, roundish, and about 1/8 inch in diameter!. Female ticks have a white spot in the middle of the back, being the source of the species
