Amblyomma sp. - i have a feeling this may be a tick nymph or larva and not a genuine chigger, but i use the term as a catchall for any of the tiny Acari who have the same effect. found my pants legs covered in these, what look like moving tiny specks to the bare eye, both yesterday and today after a woods/field walk.
Tick season is generally associated, but not restricted, to warm weather. Ticks generally live in tall grass and wooded areas and attach themselves to a host somewhere where it is warm & relatively hairless. Tick borne diseases can be permanently disabling and, therefore, the sooner a tick is discovered & removed, the less risk to your dog: dogs.about.com/od/dogandpuppyhealth/a/ticksondogs.htm
In spite of the cooler weather, a tick attached itself to Jersey during a walk in the woods:
Top: Tick attached to the top of Jersey’s neck & tick being removed using a Tick Key (my preferred tool for removing ticks).
Bottom: Top & bottom view of the removed tick.
Daily tick checks are the best way to protect you and loved ones from ticks and the diseases they carry. Inspect your entire body in front of a mirror. For more information on ticks, visit nysipm.cornell.edu/whats-bugging-you/ticks.

Ixodes sp. (Acari, Ixodidae). Body length: 2,8 mm.
Every time I go out to the wild, always meet them. It is very common here in Hungary, no excursions without tick attack on me. This specimen has closed its legs when I fixed the leaf with a clamp, but then stayed quiet so I managed to do the stacking sequence.

Our vet has moved onto the rare disease transmitted by ticks: Lyme Disease, Query Fever, and Ehrlichia. This is a poster produced by the company Frontline, whose product we use to protect andy against ticks. But we found a tick on Andy on the 9th.
The symptoms do not quite seem to match but apparently these tick born blood infections present all sorts of symptoms so it is worth a try. Andy is being given Doxycycline, the most famous medicine for treating these things.
But id rather deal with some potently dangerous ticks than inconsiderate asses at work.
This one was rather fast as well . 72 degrees cloudy .

Warm weather in the thick Cross Timbers of Oklahoma means lots of active ticks and the deer suffer from these blood-sucking arachnids. The backs of this buck's ears are covered in big gorged ticks. He's working on them to no avail with his back foot. I cropped a little from the left of the frame to protect OK Nature Pic's 'safe' group rating.
