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.

Are ticks born in deer feces?

No, ticks are not born in deer feces. Ticks hatch from eggs laid by adult female ticks, typically in leaf litter or grassy areas. While deer can host ticks and provide a food source for them, the ticks themselves do not originate from deer feces. Instead, they are found in environments where they can easily attach to passing hosts.
