Abstract
Zelus renardii is a Nearctic invasive species expanding its range worldwide. In less than 15 years following its discovery in Europe, it spread to most of the northern Mediterranean countries. In this paper, we report the first observation of the species in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the earliest occurrence records from Croatia. New observations on the species’ habitat and overwintering in the region are briefly discussed.
