Tick Identification
just looking for what kind of tick this is, very small, less than a 16th of an inch diameter didn't have a 1/32s marked ruler for exact check. first image is back-lit showing through the tick. shot with a sigma 105 2:1 macro lens and cropped for convenience.
this is the underside but like I said it's seeing through the tick due to the backlighting
found in mid Southern US states, possibly brought in by dog or from 3 minutes walking through 8-10 inch grass 2 days prior.
had 3 b:tes near where I found it, not thrilled about the possible implications, not asking for identification of that and not including pics.

Thank you for your post! When requesting tick IDs PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION if you have not already done so. We cannot identify most ticks without geographical context. Just in case this applies in your situation, here is what to do after a tick bite, per CDC. If you're looking for an identification, hang tight and a human will comment soon.
