 "Aedes koreicus" larvae have been found breeding in artificial water collection sites such as garden ponds, water drums, manholes, buckets, flower pots, discarded tires, and other water-containing vessels, as well as in natural collection sites such as tree holes, stone cavities, road tracks, and ditches, in either clear or organics-rich water.These characteristics adapt it to surviving transport over long distances and exploiting urban as well as periurban habitats.The first documentation of "Aedes koreicus" becoming established outside its native range was in Belgium in 2008, marking it as an invasive species capable of being globally transported.
