TIL that even though ticks can't fly or jump, they can use static electricity to launch themselves onto passing mammals

As a passing mammal I don’t like this

How though? This would seem like a thing of chance if they actually got swept up by the static charge of something passing by. How would the tick control its own charge?

for fuck’s sake

So it's doing that thing in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
