Adults stay close to where they hatched, traveling only a few hundred yards. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN792 Source: https://vectorbio.rutgers.edu/outreach/species/sp5.htm
The species has been recorded in about 23 states. It thrives in the urban subtropics — southern Florida and Gulf-coast cities in Texas and Louisiana — but reaches up the East Coast to New York and inland to Indiana and Kentucky. Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN792
