It was also introduced in the Oriental Region and the Near East ( Köhler 2009 ). The adults feed mostly on overripe fruits, although it has been observed as a concurrent source of damage to cultivated strawberries ( Pansa et al . 2014 ; Ruzzier et al . 2023b ). It was recorded only recently in Romania (2018) on overripe pears ( Stan 2019 ).
