The Nearctic Zelus renardii also reported from the Netherlands (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)
Here we present the first record of the Nearctic Zelus renardii from the Netherlands. A specimen was photographed at the flowerheads of tansy Tanacetum vulgare in a flower garden in the north of the province of Limburg. The species is recorded since 2010 in Europe and became established since then in a large part of the Mediterranean region. Single specimens were found indoors in several more northern countries, accidentally introduced by human activity, for instance with the import of fruits. In the near future, however, the species may expand its range further north due to the ongoing climate change.
