It is also reported from Fiji and Tanzania , Zambia and found in South Asia and the Caribbean as an introduced species.[1][2] It has also been introduced to Florida,[3][4] and as of 2022 is well-distributed throughout South and Central Florida, with limited sightings in the Northeast and Panhandle.[5]
