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

It looks like it's a dog tick. Only concern is if it's burrowing into you.

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:
