In a paper reporting the introduction and settlement of Anoplophora horsfieldii (Hope) into Jeju, it was found that Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) was misquoted as "it was introduced into the Jeju area and is currently being discovered." Fortunately, the sentence was quickly discovered and corrected to "it has the potential to be introduced to Jeju Island". Taking this as an opportunity, we would like to emphasize to researchers that it is necessary to verify very carefully when describing the domestic distribution of prohibited quarantine pests. Estimating by the cold stress index of the CLIMEX model, B. dorsalis was predicted to be unable to survive in Jeju in the winter of 2022-2023. However, in the winter of 2023, it was confirmed that the occurrence of A. horsfieldii was found to occur in the summer after overwintering at sub-zero temperatures, and it was judged to have succeeded in settling.
