This is not a Deer Tick. It could possible be a Dog Tick, but it's hard to tell by the images. Deer Ticks and Dog Ticks are in different genera, so it would be best just to label this as an unidentified Ixodid tick. See link for info on Ixodidae: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixodidae
It might also be worth cropping this picture (now the first one) to a maximum of 600 pixels and certainly to not more than 1200 pixels, otherwise our program has to shrink it to display.
Hi Marta, may I suggest you switch the picture positions as the insect is not as sharp as the second picture and only the first picture can be viewed at full size in Project Noah.
