The season of ticks in Crimea has begun in March.
On March, 8th 2007ãîäà walking in searches of Nikitskaya cleft (Crimea, near Yalta) I with surprise have found on the clothes an active tick. Next day after walk in gorge Uch-Kosh on clothes one more tick has been found out. Till now I have been assured(confident), that the season of ticks begins only in the end of April. In practice ticks have appeared free from prejudices and wake up when will want, instead of under the schedule.
Having glanced at a leisure in the Internet, I have learned(have found out), that the first cases of an attack of ticks in Crimea in it(this) to year have been registered in the end of February, in village Perevalnoe. Except for that that fact has proved to be true, that ticks do not run into hibernation on a calendar, and are guided by the thermometer. In a warm climate they can be active though the year round.
