After laying her eggs, this female Ixodes hard tick will die, while the soft tick female will lay many batches of eggs. The North American Ixodes are “hard ticks” due to the presence of a dorsal plate or scutum. There are over 200 member species of the genus Ixodes, and many of them can transmit Lyme disease to humans.
