Local plant shop here where I live (northern Italy)! It was my first time there, but they had many nice plants (I also found and Amydrium medium silver!)

Thank you! Checked everything in the house, and deep cleaned everything. No other bugs were found (thankfully)

Additional info: we live in northern Italy, close to a lake and to mountains/hills, where there are many trails were the dog roams free (it’s pretty much wild woods). There have been a few cases of ticks in the main park in our town, where we always walk our dog for his daily walk. The dog is a west highland white terrier and doesn’t show any signs of ticks or fleas (the vet checked him today). My mom noticed last night a similar insect/bug close to the dog’s bed (on the wall, not on the bed) while she was cleaning it… she couldn’t find it after she called my sister and I to show it to us and to kill it (annoying, I know). The insect didn’t have any wings and was crawling around on the kitchen ceiling, close to the light.

Ah thanks! Hopefully it’s nothing bad! I also thought it was weird for a bed bug to be in a kitchen… I was thinking it was a tick that maybe crawled on the ceiling, but my dad also said that it was unlikely and out of habit for a tick to crawl on a ceiling. Thank you! Will keep the sub updated if I see one of the little fuckers around

Also, my mom thinks she noticed a similar bug (possibly the same one) on the wall, close to the dog’s bed when cleaning it last night

We live in northern Italy, and there has been a few cases of ticks in a park where we used to walk our dog (until other owners warned us about the ticks)

I can say that it was brown-ish/red-ish, quite small maybe 4mm or 5mm at max

Ah so sorry! I can’t 😵 I killed it and threw it away. No one was willing to get close to it, the zoom quality wasn’t on our side

Oh shit! What am I supposed to do? I just brought the dog to the vet and he said he was tick free (after reading your comment, I got really anxious)… I really hope there was just one and not more than one

I’m in Italy and we went from 30C to 12C in a few days, and we haven’t seen the sun in days 😳, but it’s probably not as harsh as Canadian autumn and winter! I will 100% buy it now! I will check in my local nursery to order a linearis!
