Only mature ticks, engorged females and hungry imago hibernate in mountain regions of Armenia. According to the author's observations eggs of ticks as well as their larvae are not capable of hibernating. In females of spring satiation the development of eggs proceeds in most short periods from May to October. The longest period before the beginning of egg laying is observed in ticks of summer and autumn satiation. It becomes prolonged, in general, on account of hibernation of satiated females. Females of August-September satiation hibernate more successfully than females satiated in June and July.
只有成熟的蜱虫、饱血的雌蜱和饥饿的成虫在亚美尼亚山区冬眠。根据作者的观察，蜱虫的卵及其幼虫不具备冬眠能力。在春季饱血的雌蜱中，卵的发育在5月至10月的最短时间内进行。产卵开始前最长的时期出现在夏季和秋季饱血的蜱虫中。一般来说，这是由于饱血雌蜱的冬眠而延长的。8 - 9月饱血的雌蜱比6月和7月饱血的雌蜱冬眠得更成功。
