same dog?

John, No it was not. My daughter works at a dog day care. She's finding them daily.

Genus Haemaphysalis

Interesting and good photos. Also, I think this is not H. leporispalustris, the most common North American member of the genus.

I've heard they are extremely numerous this year, here.
