Ixodes caledonicus is a little studied nidicolous tick species occurring in Europe as well as Western and Middle Asia. In Crimea this species is very rare and never has been found after 1980 (Nebogatkin 1998). Its hosts are birds that usually nest in rocks, feed on the ground, or feed and drink during flight (Filippova 1977).
