| ===Life Cycle=== | | ===Life Cycle=== |
| The females lay one egg per day for around 2 weeks, which is their approximate lifespan. The eggs are sticky and glue themselves to the hairs of the host, in this case, cattle. The eggs hatch in 1-2 weeks, transforming into nymphs. Nymphs then transform into mature adults about 14 days later. The female will then begin to lay eggs, and infect the host. | | The females lay one egg per day for around 2 weeks, which is their approximate lifespan.
