Comments: H. halys is native in East Asia and ranges in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan ( Rabitsch 2008). It is found firstly in North America and Chile as an invasive insect species. This bug was introduced to Europe in 2004 for the first time and spread to many European countries including Austria, Croatia, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden ( Cianferoni et al. 2018). It was recorded from Greece in 2011, from Georgia in 2015 and from Bulgaria in 2016 ( Cianferoni et al. 2018; Özdemir & Tuncer 2021; Çerçi 2021). Following these records from neighbouring countries, it arrived in Turkey and it was firstly discovered in İstanbul in 2017 ( Çerçi & Koçak 2017). According to the records given later, the oldest record in Turkey is from Artvin in 2016 ( Göktürk & Tozlu 2019). It seems, from these records, that this species spread to Turkey both from Georgia through Artvin and from Europe through İstanbul. According to new data, H. halys can be found year-round, but it is most common in autumn. Eleven of the 31 records were reported in October (Graph 6).
