2. It's technically native to china and the earliest confirmation of it being in taiwan in around 1800 (although it could have been earlier) ([url]https://www.researchgate.net/publication/296813573_Overview_of_the_global_distribution_and_control_of_the_Formosan_subterranean_termite[/url]) 3. It is in a small part of mexico, but some sources say it isn't established, so saying taiwan or japan might be a safer bet
