It is obviously introduced from Europe and well established on the West Coast and Pacific Northwest of the US, but does it occur in Eastern US, Midwest or elsewhere? I don't recall ever seeing this pest (thankfully) and assume it cannot survive cold winters. Appreciate input. Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
