In this study, we present new data on the occurrence of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, in Poland from 2002 to 2023. Since the year 2000, the frequency of locust sightings has increased, with 21 records documented. Both the gregarious and solitary forms were observed, although no regular patterns of occurrence were noted, suggesting the formation of new populations in Poland. Most sightings were reported from the southern and eastern regions, likely due to their proximity to the regular range of this. The rise in observations appears to be influenced by climatic and habitat changes, as well as an increase in active field observers, partly due to the "Orthoptera Project of Poland" initiated in 2018.
