This photo depicts two Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks, commonly known as the longhorned tick. It has been linked to the spread of a hemorrhagic fever in China. The smaller of the two ticks on the left is a nymph. The larger tick is an adult female.

Called ALSV, the virus causes headache and fever and was found in Inner Mongolia. Scientists say the discovery illustrates how much we still don't know about ticks.
