Dane na temat rozprzestrzeniania się inwazyjnego gatunku Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787) (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Oxycarenidae) w południowo-zachodniej części Polski [Data on the spread of the invasive species Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787) (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Oxycarenidae) in south-west part of Poland]

Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787), the invasive true bug species, were recorded from Poland for the first time in 2014 (SE Poland, Rzeszów; Hebda & Olbrycht, 2016). Since that time it was recorded also in Cieszyn (Western Beskid Mts) and Brzeg (Lower Silesia) in August 2018 (Gierlasiński et al., 2018). In October, November and December 2018 and January 2019, many new populations of this species were reported in south-west regions of Poland (Lower Silesia: Jawor, Legnica, Nysa, Opole, Oława, Racibórz, Świdnica, Wrocław; Upper Silesia: Zdzieszowice) what confirms the species expansion to the north of Poland.
