Lifecyle of Ornithodoros soft tick. Argasidae soft ticks have different lifecycles from Ixodidae hard ticks, and these are very variable between species. [1] Typically, in Ornithodoros, a larva hatches from an egg laid in the nest or resting place of the host. The larva does not feed, but directly molts into the first nymph stage.
Ticks belong to three different families. The majority of tick species belong to the two families: Ixodidae (hard ticks) and Argasidae (soft ticks). The third living family is Nuttalliellidae, named for the bacteriologist George Nuttall. It comprises a single species, Nuttalliella namaqua, [12] [13] and as such is a monotypic taxon.
There are three tick species most commonly associated with humans which include: Lone Star tick is reddish-brown to tan in color.The adult females are identified by a single white spot on the back.

The Argasidae are the family of soft ticks, one of the three families of ticks. The family contains 193 species, although the composition of the genera is less certain, and more study is needed before the genera can become stable. [1] The currently accepted genera are Antricola, Argas, Nothoaspis, Ornithodoros, and Otobius. [1]
