Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Unfortunately they are an invasive species and in large numbers will kill host trees. https://invasiveinsectsolutions.com/spotted-lanternfly-faq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slanwar Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 I saw a few in PA but that was the first one here in New Jersey and I reported to the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The epicenter of the infestation is just w of me in Reading,PA. Here in Bucks Co, there are vineyards that have taken a beating this year. There is hope- 2 naturally occurring fungi have been found to affect the critters. Penn State is working on them, and I think one has been available for commercial use. Until then, squishem!
