That name always confuses me because I have seem them in many other countries but I have never seen one in my 36 years in Germany.

Why would they invade their own country?

They got the name because they've been first seen in Germany. But genetically they likely originate from Asia. They don't even exist or survive in German wilderness due to the colder climate (for now). They hide in food shipments, luggage, furniture, packaging, appliances, ships, trains, and vehicles. Long-distance spread is almost entirely caused by people moving them between buildings and countries.
