The Height of attachment to host was investigated in two species of ticks, Haemaphysalis megaspinosa and Haemaphysalis longicornis, in the southern part of Chiba Prefecture from March to May in 1992 and 1993. Laboratory experiment showed the attaching H. longicornis adults fell off more easily than H. longicornis nymphs. We wore flannel clothes marked at intervals of 10cm to record the attachment height of ticks. We walked in the study site and collected ticks that attached to our clothes. H. megaspinosa was mostly collected. There was no significant difference between the height of attachment to man and the height of ticks remaining on plants. Though H. megaspinosa nymphs were collected at higher positions on plants than H. longicornis nymphs, there was no significant difference between them in the height of attachment.
