  1. sheep tick

    A sheep tick, also known as Ixodes ricinus, is a small parasitic arachnid commonly found in grassy and heath areas. They live by feeding on the blood of various animals, particularly sheep, cattle, deer and humans, and are known for transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. Despite the name, the sheep tick does not live on the sheep but in the environment, waiting for the sheep to come to them.
