York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 29.VIII.2007, 5.IX.2007, 21.IX.2007, 5.X.2007, R.P. Webster, mixed forest, in pile of corncobs and cornhusks (local corn), (12, NBM, RWC) .

This adventive species originates in Southeast Asia and is frequently associated with dried stored products. In Canada it has been recorded from Manitoba east to Québec and Nova Scotia ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, and Vermont ( Downie and Arnett 1996; Chandler 2001). In Great Britain and Scandinavia it has successfully adapted from stored dried products to outdoor environments such as compost heaps ( Hammond 1974; Ødegaard and TØmmerås 2000) while in Australia it has colonized peach and nectarine orchards ( James et al. 2000).
