Ticks have a body that is divided into two main parts: the cephalothorax and the abdomen. The cephalothorax has a hard, shield-like structure called a scutum, which gives it some rigidity, while the abdomen is more flexible and can expand when the tick feeds. Overall, while ticks exhibit some hard characteristics, particularly in the cephalothorax, their bodies are not entirely hard like those of beetles or other insects.

Cover it in Vaseline and it will suffocate or buy a tick remover!! You can grab them by the head and pull. Be gentle, because if you pull to hard, mouth parts can get stuck in you.
