Distribution
This species has not yet become established in the USA, but it is considered to represent a potentially serious threat as a pest, an invasive species which could negatively affect agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health or commerce. Therefore it has been suggested that this species be given top national quarantine significance in the USA.[1]

gollark: The flat moon, probably.
gollark: Compromise: a dinosaur earth with a donut earth encircling it, but there's a hemisphere (flat top, globe bottom) around them?
gollark: Dinosaur earth best earth.
gollark: Of course there's some debate about what it means for there to not be an Earth.
