Spotted lanternflies have recently been confirmed in our region. First found in the U.S. in 2014 in Pennsylvania, spotted lanternfly currently has established populations in 9 states. This invasive insect can feed on over 103 different plant types and is also a threat to many ornamental and native trees. One of the main ways it spreads is through egg masses which can be laid on almost any surface, including trees and other plants.
