Abstract

Seven larval Dermacentor variabilis were found during April 2010 on a male carpenter bee, Xylocopa virginica , at Rayne, Louisiana, USA, while looking for chaetodactylid mites. One tick appeared to be partially engorged. Subsequently, 10 more carpenter bees (7 males, 3 females) were collected from the same location and examined for ticks. None were infested. The significance of this finding is discussed
