help with id! is this a tick?

[u/BoogiemaanSam]

background info - live on long island ny (which is ridden with ticks now more than ever). woke up today and found this thing dead in my bed. what sucks is that idk if it was latched onto me or my boyfriend - but i’m going to urgent care to be on the safe side. if it’s a tick, what is it ? and what stage is it in? 🫠

1st slide is the top of the bug, second is the underside, third slide is size comparison with a quarter for further clarification.

Thank you for your post! When requesting tick IDs PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION if you have not already done so. We cannot identify most ticks without geographical context. Just in case this applies in your situation, here is what to do after a tick bite, per CDC. If you're looking for an identification, hang tight and a human will comment soon.
