  How sure are you with that species? I'm checking multiple sources and they all claim its an Americas species. This one could be invasive to Australia, I'm no expert, but wanted to double check. Posted 9 years ago

    Hmm - I guess I am wrong with this one. then :-/ I think I just went off the image, then noticed the web site I posted above had .nz at the end and possibly incorrectly jumped to the conclusion that it was the right species. Apologies if I've led you down the garden path :) Posted 9 years ago

      No worries man, it's understandable to make that conclusion. Just by chance I noticed the distribution at dutch Wikipedia. Posted 9 years ago

        Perhaps it was taking a holiday?

        With a lifespan of 10-15 days it really should :) Posted 9 years ago
