British Columbia has a new tick (maybe)
Those of you who live in the British Columbia Interior are likely already familiar with Rocky Mountain wood ticks (Dermacentor andersoni). They are the single most common tick species in the dry grassland ecosystems of the southern interior region and there are springs when the adults are so ubiquitous that recreating in the great outdoors is often followed by a de-ticking session, especially if Fido recreated with you.
