H. adansoni is found in warmer climates around the world, for example Malta, India, Japan, Brazil, Taiwan, Tanzania, and Australia.

It has also been introduced worldwide in greenhouses and similar places, for example in several German zoos.

There are two small white dots on the posterior back, and two even smaller ones towards the end.

This species was originally described as Attus adansonii by Audouin in 1826, then redescribed in officially recognised literature another 86 times by 2012, often being placed in other genera.
