Thanks for the information but what I was seeking was actual locations

I can't help with your research, as this was a new one on me, but I was
reading the Saturday Independent earlier (yes, I'm a slow reader,
apparently!) and it was listed as the 6th most annoying garden pest (after
slugs+snails, vine weevil and, umm, 3 others that I can't recall offhand.
Which would imply it's spread quite a bit already.
