Found this in DC apt, sitting on a laundered shirt.
Anything to be concerned about?
Thank you,

No, I cant, but was eating my lunch at the time your pic came up and thank god the resolution was poor. I hope odinn our expert can help with it.
It looks like it's a dog tick. Only concern is if it's burrowing into you.
It is a dog, tick, or is it a dog-tick... sorry odinn I had to say that, bad weather has me in and not in the garden.
Names vary. In Michigan it's called a wood tick. In Carolina it's called a dog tick. It's one of the more common North American ticks, Dermacentor variabilis.
Here's what the University of Florida has to say:
American dog tick - Dermacentor variabilis (Say)
Thank you very much, appreciate the ID
