Bulb fly question

Dear Friends,
Can anyone give a fairly definitive answer to the question :
What is the North American distribution of the Narcissus Bulb Fly
(Merodon)?
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.
