please tell/write me that they're not ticks

i wasn't able to see clearly at that moment but when i looked at the photo back home, i saw these. Only today we removed 2 ticks and it's becoming disturbingly regular. If these are ticks on only one dung beetle, we are damned :/

Ticks do not use any other food source than vertebrate blood and therefore ingest high levels of protein, iron and salt, but few carbohydrates, lipids or vitamins.

then they can't be ticks?
