Best Answer

Ticks from the Ixodidae family have hard, armoured bodies to help protect themselves and the fur/hair around the animals they feed on hides them from insect eating predators. Ticks from the Argasidae family have softer, more vunerable bodies and mostly rely on the camoflauge from animals they feed on, like Ixodidae ticks.
