Caption:
This photograph, captured during the winter months in a wooded environment, depicts two mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus, which are the major host of the adult winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus. These ticks are found on large mammals including moose, deer, elk, horses and cattle, and are not known to cause diseases in humans. D. albipictus attaches to these mammals as a larva, and remains attached throughout its life.
