Who would know the answer to that!!!!! Sorry but, who cares!
The life cycle of a tick includes egg, larva, nymph, and adult stages. Ticks require blood meals at each stage to transition to the next and can feed on a variety of hosts like mammals, birds, and reptiles. The length of the life cycle varies depending on the tick species and environmental conditions.
I have a tick in a bottle that I caught 8 months ago. All he needs is moisture to stay alive.
A wood tick is not an herbivore. It is a parasite that sucks blood.

A tick biting a dog to feed on its blood is an example of parasitism, where one organism (the tick) benefits at the expense of the other (the dog). The tick obtains nutrients from the dog's blood while potentially causing harm or discomfort to the dog.
Paratism, in which the dog would be the host and the tick would be the parasite, because it depends on the dogs blood.
This is an example of a parasitic relationship. In this relationship, the tick benefits from feeding on the dog's blood while the dog is harmed by the tick's presence.
The dog would be a host to the tick.
Well this is a common case of parasite and host. The tick is the type of parasite that keeps its host alive but ticks still carry deadly diseases so the relationship is complicated, but for sure the dog is the host and the tick is the parasite, that does not intentionally kill its host in order to complete its life cycle.
blood
A deer tick is a carnivore. It feeds on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles.
