At present it seems quite certain, that Cameraria ohridella has been introduced to Austria from Macedonia (by man). But the real origin of this moth is still unknown because the insect was also introduced to Macedonia. Cameraria ohridella is strictly connected with Aesculus. Therefore the natural habitat could be one of the tertiar relict areas of Hippocastanaceae in Eastern Europe, in the Far East (Himalaya, India, etc.) or America.
