The Tick Life Cycle

3. Nymphs

In the spring of the year following the larval stage, having spent the winter in a state of suspended animation known as a diapause, tick larvae moult into 8-legged nymphs.

Once again, they climb the grass and search for a new host.

Then they feed on the host, this time for up to 11 days.

Finally, they detach and fall to the ground, where they mature into adults.
