Abstract
I. persulcatus populations were studied according to the changes in the age composition of hungry adult ticks from different groups. The expenditure of reserve nutrients is irregular especially males. Younger ticks become active early in the season, older ticks later. Maximum life span of females in fir forests of western Sajans [USSR] is 70-80 days; that of males, 65-70 days.
