@rhblakeman I meant you spelled it wrong :P

@awh1313 Nope. Entomology is the study of insects. Mites and ticks technically are arachnids as they have 8 legs but most times aren't studied under arachnology with spiders, scorpions, etc but instead in their own field called acarology.

@awh1313 PS the "stylostome" you copied from a google search is actually the hole they make after injecting the enzyme. The hole is how they chew up the loosened tissue.

@awh1313 No I sure don't have anything mixed up, I've had and dealt with "chiggers" longer than you've been around. Adults lay eggs in the dirt, do not bite people. The eggs hatch into larvae that end up on plants and get on you by the brushing onto you of the plants. The larvae secrete an enzyme that breaks down tissue, they feed on that and leave go into the nymph stage and no longer bite people. They go from nymph to adult and lay eggs. Look up Trombiculidae in wikipedia if you want to learn

He's very good at doing anecdotal songs, which is something that is a brilliant quality of classic blues musicians. Amazing guitarist as well for someone who has spent a large amount of his life homeless and at one point owned only a 3-string guitar.
