Small bug found in house?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
You couldn't find it when looking up bugs because this is not the bug nor is it even an insect. It is an arachnid, more specifically it is a tick. I am not great with tick species identification but I think it is a Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni).

Small brown bug with yellow pattern . It took ALOT to kill . It just didn't die from a pinch . I has to smash it continuously smash with medicine bottle . I was laying on my bed and I felt it crawling on my neck I then squashed it with my fingers and flung it to the floor . Seconds later I went to see if it was alive still . Indeed it was . Therefore I tried smashing it with a charger head . He still didn't die . Then I tried to squish it in some paper again with my fingers . Still he remained alive . So I kept it in the paper and started smashing it with a medicine bottle . Then he finally died . He was pretty small . After he died I took a picture of it with my phone as you can see . Now if anyone could tell me what bug this is . It would be great . ( please notice the yellow pattern , I looked up bugs and none have the yellow pattern)
