They are excellent for jumping, and are in the same family as Iguana's (though I don't know that's why they look similar or not) - though not super closely related.

Re: I hate ticks
Anybody mention Babesiosis?

Why are there so many ticks? Did a crucial link in the food chain disappear?

Re: I hate ticks
Maybe a certain frog or other amphibian that normally feeds on them?

Re: I hate ticks
Maybe, but I don't know. Some birds eat ticks, but they go after the adults, and don't effect the number of nymphs to the point where it would be of any benefit to us or our pets.
