Ticks and mites are actually:
- Arachnids
- Crustaceans
- Insects
- Myriapods
Explanation

- Ticks and mites belong to the class Arachnid under the phylum Arthropoda. Like spiders and scorpions, they generally possess four pairs of legs in the adult stage and lack antennae. Hence, they are not insects, crustaceans, or myriapods.
