In the forest habitats at the locality Haljevo, the highest number (80.45%) of hard ticks was sampled. The most abundant species was Ixodes ricinus with 65.93%. The highest number (55.49%) of ticks were sampled in the developmental stage of larvae. In the developmental stage of larvae Haemaphysalis concinna was represented with 94.71%, Ixodes ricinus with 38.48% and Haemaphysalis inermis with 6.90%. The highest number of hard ticks larvae 71.53% was sampled in July, whereas the highest number of adults 58.50% was sampled in April.
