Case of the Week 346

This week's case is in recognition of Lab Week, which is from April 19-25th. Many labs around the United States celebrate by having games, quizzes, and usually a potluck with lots of great food.

In order to share in the Lab Week fun, I thought I would share our quiz this year with you:

How many ticks are in this vial?

I would say it's really hard to tell, since they are all mixed up with all those much bigger ticks... Ixodes are tiny!

In response to first comment, can't the big ones just be disgustingly engorged ones?

I'll guess 99.

Wow, a whole slew of ticks, engorged as well as hungry ones. Just for fun, must be about six dozens of them.

153... I counted them...

I would be very interested in getting the vial if I am the closest to the good result ! I am fond of these horrible creepy crawlies, they are pure beauty under the microscope.

I like your blog !
Cheers
