This is the 1st Naturemapr record of this species. There is a 2024 Inaturalist record from Kingston and a 2016 Bowerbird record from Holder. Although a native species it is considered a significant threat to the olive industry

@ACTBioSecurity - Hi this is not on your priority list and has been recorded in the ACT before. ACT may in fact be part of its natural distribution but I am unsure about that. Nevertheless it is a high priority pest species of Victorian Agriculture so something you may want to investigate further. https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/pest-insects-and-mites/priority-pest-insects-and-mites/olive-lace-bug
