Mosquitoes have long legs, and a long nose that female mosquitoes use to “bite” people and pets to draw blood, needed to lay eggs. Ticks vary in color by species. Adult ticks can be smaller than a sunflower seed (over 1 cm long if engorged with blood), while tick larvae can be less than 1 mm. Common problem ticks include the American dog tick, deer or blacklegged tick and lone star tick.
