A dead one hopefully.

It wasn’t in this picture (in a ziplock bag), but it is now!

According to the internet it's a Pacific Coast tick Dermacentor occidentalis

How the hell did it get to Wisconsin?

That I do not know. How did the newly developed Chinese bird flew get to Florida? 😉

Male. 100%

2 parallel stripes, like "suspenders".

What species, tho? Doesn’t looked like a dog tick, which is more common here. Deer ticks are much smaller.

The stripes can look like stripes or full blown rorschach inkblot nightmare images.

Going with male, American Dog Tick. Off that one photo.

Seems to be the consensus.

I believe you are right. Looks the part, common in my area, and we had a mild winter, so it’s going to be a tick-filled summer.

Looks like someone that "works" for the govt
