Ixodes holocyclus - Wikipedia
The life cycle of Ixodes holocyclus consists of four stages: egg, larva, nymph, adult. Ixodes holocyclus requires three hosts to complete its life cycle, thus it is a "three-host tick". Ticks hatch as six-legged larvae after an incubation period of 40 to 60 days.

To find hosts required for their growth and development, ticks wait on vegetation with their legs outstretched and waving slowly until they can make contact. Life cycle. Larvae or "seed/grass" ticks are tiny (0.5mm) and found mostly in autumn and winter. After 3 different host feedings they then moult to the nymph stage which are about 1mm.

Most tick species undergo one of four different life cycles. Members of the family Ixodidae undergo either one-host, two-host or three-host life cycles. During the one-host life cycle, ticks remain on the same host for the larval, nymphal and adult stages, only leaving the host prior to …
Life cycle: Paralysis ticks are “three-host ticks” – they drop from their host and re-attach to a new host each time they moult. A very thorough inspection of an animal is required to find larvae, nymphs or un-engorged adult ticks.
Paralysis Tick (Ixodes holocyxlus) • TickSafety.com
Paralysis ticks have four life stages: egg, larva, nymph and adult and a three host life cycle. Ticks must take a blood meal in order to molt to the next life stage and produce eggs. The lifecycle is typically completed within three years, but can be shorter if climatic conditions are optimal and suitable hosts are abundant.
