According to Wikipedia page they are not found in Australia.
I live in Australia (western australia Boulder) and found one of these in my house.I asked Jeff Walker who has worked a a pest control in our area for many years, Jeff is in his seventies and has never seen one of these and didn,t know what it was.When I found it it played dead.I have a picture of it on my facebook page.Can you please tell me if they are found in Australia.
