ticks go through four life stages: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph, and adult. After hatching from the eggs, ticks must eat blood at every stage to survive. Most ticks will die because they cannot find a host for their next feeding. Ticks often spread disease-causing pathogens when they are feeding on a host. Often, ticks remain attached to a host for days while sucking its blood. According to the diagram on the ticks life cycle, when is the MOST LIKELY time for ticks to attack human hosts?
