Lone Star Tick bites
I just pulled one of these out of my back! It was about the size of a small watermelon seed. I live in Kings Grant, Marlton, and as I was looking online for this tick, I happened across this site which mentioned Kings Grant!!

Kings Grant
I live in Kings Grant, too. If you put "Marlton" in the search box on this site you will find many more images of the local bugs.
