Abstract
Corythucha arcuata, the North American oak lace bug was discovered in Europe in 2000 (in northern Italy) and has spread rapidly in several European countries. However, the species was not reported from Poland, so far. Its potential geographic distribution was modelled using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) in order to predict the regions of Poland where it would have found the best environmental conditions for its further spread.
