Argasidae
The Argasidae are a family of ticks containing the soft ticks. They lack the hard scutum present in the hard ticks (Ixodidae). The capitulum (mouthparts-bearing structure) is located on the underside of the animal's body and is not readily visible. The family contains 193 species, although the composition of the genera is less certain, and more study is needed before the genera can become stable. The currently accepted genera are Antricola, Argas, Nothoaspis, Ornithodoros, and Otobius.

Are You A Ghost
by: B-witchedIts two in the mornin
I'll tell you why I'm awake.
There it goes, that creepy feeling again,
Round in my head.
Ohhh again, here in my head.
Here in the darkness
There's so many shapes.
Shadows burn like faded flames,
And die into the night.
Ohhhh and fly up so high.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign... and I'll know.
Cool wind is blowin.
Fingers through hair.
Standing in an empty room,
Alone it feels like you're there.
Oh, alone I know that you're there.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign.
I'll tell you what I know,
I'll tell you how I feel.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Would you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
Just give me a sign... and I'll know.
Are you a ghost, or are you alive?
Whould you be here for me,
Be here for me now?
Imagination, or are you for real?
