Winter tick larvae on pant-leg
Cow moose
While looking for ticks at one of our long-term monitoring sites in northern Maine, one of our students encountered clusters of winter tick larvae. Winter ticks pose a serious threat to Maine's iconic moose population, with infestations reaching over 100,000 ticks on a single moose in some cases.
