“…The fact that it is a pest of grapevines is corroborated by our findings, but we do not have any conclusions regarding why it could be like this. It should be kept in mind, nevertheless, that A. aegyptium is expanding its distribution due to global warming [65,66] When the E/F ratios (1.66 and 1.69) of the gathered specimens of Dociostaurus maroccanus are compared to the values in Barranco [38], it can be seen that they correspond to the lower extreme of the range, describing the gregarious form. Similar values were obtained by Mikšić [51] in Herzegovina, who concluded that the observed specimens have not fully transitioned to the gregarious phase and in fact belong to the transient phase.…”

During the last century, well-known locust species, such as Calliptamus italicus and Dociostaurus maroccanus, have produced outbreaks of varying degrees in the Balkans. The literature data on outbreaks in the region are scarce, and Croatia is not an exception. This study summarized the data on 23 Orthoptera mass occurrences in Croatia from 1900 to 2023 from 28 localities, representing 12 species. This is a low level of outbreak activity compared with other locust and pest grasshopper species in other parts of the world. The species with the most reporting is C. italicus with altogether six mass occurrences, while second is Barbitistes ocskayi and Miramella irena with three records, and in the third, place D. maroccanus and Gryllotalpa sp., each with two mass occurrences having been reported. One of the most notable swarms is that of Anacridium aegyptium which occurred around Šibenik in 1998, and this paper provides the first account of it, 25 years after it took place. The most recent outbreaks took place in 2022, and the most notable one was that of D. maroccanus swarm in Štikovo. The 2022 and 2023 reports were brief and muted, despite the affected agriculturists claiming significant damages.
