mm 3,5 tot scatti 1522 gruppi 6 dim file 48.650 x 42.788 px 5,82 GB Mitutoyo x10 + Raynox 150 Canon R5 La zecca dei boschi appartiene alla classe Arachnida, ordine Acarina. Questo esemplare è stato raccolto quando ancora cercava, appeso a steli d'erba , una potenziale preda. Presente ovunque è portatrice di diverse patologie come la malattia di Lyme e la meningoencefalite o TBE. L'apparato boccale o Gnatosoma è composto da un rostro o Ipostoma, dai palpi, dai cheliceri e da ghiandole salivari che secernono sostanze cementanti, anticoagulanti e vasocostrittrici per favorire il pasto di sangue sull'ospite. I cheliceri hanno la funzione di tagliare la pelle per poi permettere al rostro di penetrare e così assicurare una salda presa. i palpi invece servono per localizzare meglio i vasi sanguinei. Sono presenti tre paia di arti nella fase larvale, quattro nella fase successiva. Gli stadi di sviluppo sono suddivisi in larva, ninfa e adulto. nella foto dettaglio dell'apparato boccale.
