In eastern South America, it was originally introduced to S\u00e3o Paulo in the mid-1800s and has spread throughout the eastern lowlands of Brazil from Maranh\u00e3o to Rio Grande do Sul, and in the interior to the Igua\u00e7u area, eastern Goi\u00e1s, and the Federal District, with isolated populations around several Amazonia cities (Rio Branco, Manaus, Macap\u00e1, and Bel\u00e9m) and locally elsewhere in Amazonas and Par\u00e1.\u00a0 Has likely expanded to adjacent parts of Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay, despite few records from those countries.<\/p>

Populations are established on many islands worldwide: in the Caribbean, Martinique and Trinidad, with a few records from Tobago; in the South Atlantic, Ascension, St. Helena, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, Principe, and Bioko; in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles, Mauritius, R\u00e9union, and Rodrigues; and in the Pacific, Taiwan, Singapore, New Caledonia, Vanuatu (Efate), Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, the Marquesas, and Hawaii (Oahu since the 1970s, then in the 1990s and early 2000s spread to Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
