EPPO Reporting Service (2011/172) : first caught in July 2011 in the framework of a national surveillance programme in the cantons of Ticino and Graubünden (Grisons). Traps had been placed within or near commercial fields of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa), raspberries (Rubus idaeus), blueberries (Vaccinium) and cherry orchards (Prunus avium).
