Chigger's don't exsist...
Geez, look at the hole it bit into that tire!
I think they now want to be called chigroes
Appalachian American Insects I think is the politically correct name.
I always wondered what those bastards looked like. Chiggers, Chigroes, Appalachian American Insects, now that's funny. :)
Ok, sorry for the "GEEK" moment.
That's actually an Adult Harvest Mite. They don't eat skin, they eat plants. Their Larva are Chiggers, the larva are the nasty little buggers that tear you up.
I was flying RC planes this summer and had to retrieve one and got into a nest of them, couldn't sleep for two nights. That gave me plenty of geek time to read up on them LOL. I had about 200 papules around my left ankle.
Here's a pretty good read on them. If anyone is interested in geek factor 10 LOL.
