Do ticks fly?

A.3 – No. Ticks do not fly or jump. They wait for a host on vegetation until it passes by. As the host brushes past, the tick latches on to it with hooked legs. Ticks can sense the direction of the host through chemicals from the host’s breath and skin. They can also sense changes in temperature, and in light levels as a shadow is cast over it by the host.
