minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•8 months ago You may be lucky enough not to know that when ticks feed, their bodies expand and they get rounder and rounder (see Figure 4) until they can’t consume another drop and they drop off, a process called ‘feeding to repletion.’ Oh. So glad I know that phrase now. :|

True possum memes are cooler than ones that are misinformed!
You’re learning!
So, does anything actually eat ticks? Anyone knows?
