Distribution and ecology of the predatory katydid Saga pedo (Pallas, 1771) in Croatia with the first record in the continental region

Until now, Saga pedo (Pallas, 1771) was known to occur in Croatia only in the Mediterranean biogeographical region and on the southern slopes of the Dinaric Alps in the Alpine region. Here we give the first record of the species' presence deep inside what is officially called the Alpine region and in the Peripannonian area in the Continental region of the country. Along with all known specimens and observation records, our results represent the updated distribution of S. pedo in Croatia. Some notes on ecology, field observations, and discussion about habitat preferences are also given.
