Ticks are small arachnids with oval bodies and eight legs, similar to Spiders. However, ticks are typically smaller and have a flat, tear-shaped body when unfed, while spiders have a rounder body shape. Additionally, ticks have a specialized mouthpart for feeding on blood, while spiders have fangs for injecting venom into their prey.
