m various parts of my anatomy) I&#39;d have to say they are most common her=
e in the Lunenburg area in spring. Tick numbers drop off a bit in mid to la=
te summer then there is a second peak in the fall. Nymphs seem to become mo=
re common in late spring and peak in the fall. But again that is based most=
ly on my own encounters. They can be picked up any time including mid winte=
r days when the temperature gets near or above freezing. </span></span></sp=
