This invasive, Neotropical species has been spreading widely through the Oriental region where it was probably introduced post-World War II ( Beaver 2013). It occurs in Papua New Guinea and Australia, and was recently reported for the first time in the Pacific Islands in Hawaii ( Gillett & Rubinoff 2017).
