Praying mantis (Mantis religiosa) (Linnaeus, 1758)is
a xerotermophilousspecies distributedin Europe, Asia,
Africa and Austra|ia (Bazyluk l960, Hanák et Hudeček
200l). It is native in Moravia in the Czech Republic (Chládek l998; Hanák et Hudeček200l). It appearsto havebeen
introducedto Bohemia,having been found only on one locality in South Bohemia (Hanák et Hudeček2001).
Material: National Natural Monument ŠvaŤec(Nat.
grid. No. 6464), land registerKoroužné,2004ix. ll: l
female observed.
The northernmostpublishedlocalitiesof the occurrence
of M. religiosa in the Czech Republic so far are in Silesia
_ Jeseník,Z|atohorskávrchovina (5769)(Lemon l998 in
Hanák et Hudeček200l) and opava (6072,6073)(ťorboth
see Hanák et Hudeček200l). The possibility of migration from the Poland is discussedin thesecases(Hanák et
Hudeček200l). Velk KosíŤHill, Čelechovicena Hané
(6468)(Piszkiewitz et aL2000) is the northernmostknown
permanentlyoccupiedlocality of its continuousdistribution in Moravia.
In the Bohemian-MoravianHighlands,this specieshas
been reported from KuŤimská Nová ves (6663) (Nenadál
l995), Tišnov-Květnice(6664)and Mohe|no(6863)(both
see Hanák et Hudeček200l). The finding of M. religiosa
in the NNM ŠvaŤec
occurs on the north-westborderof its
continuousdistributionin the Czech Republic.Increasing
recordsof this specieson Bohemian-MoravianHighlands
and Central Moravia supports the hypothesisthat M. religiosa has expanded northwards over the last few years
