The core distribution of D. nerii is Africa, the southern Mediterranean region and the Middle East, from where it extends east through South and South East Asia to southeast China, the Philippines, Borneo and Sumatra. It occurs as a migrant/vagrant in Europe and Central Asia, and has also colonized the southern islands of Japan (including Chichijima), Guam, Saipan and Hawaii (Pittaway, 2013; Pittaway & Kitching, 2013).
