Presence in New Zealand
I think some more information about their presence in New zealand would be helpful. E.g. When did they arrive? How did they become established? What sort of distribution do they have here? Environmental impact, etc. I find it odd that they could have come here on grapes - grapes are generally quite well-fumigated and packed with a Potassium Metabisulfite pad (which releases Sulfur Dioxide in order to stop fungal growth, but would probably kill other organisms as well), and often are in transit for some weeks. But you never know. Edaemus (talk) 22:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

November 2013 trip to England
One of these turned up in grapes bought by a woman in Newton Abbot.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 07:32, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
