Using community science to identify predators of spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), in North America - Volume 113 Issue 5

Cambridge Core

This year, my most commonly observed species was the spotted #Lanternfly (#Lycorma delicatula, #Fulgoridae), an introduced #PlantHopper (#Fulgoroidea, #Hemiptera). Spreading rapidly since its 2015 introduction in #Pennsylvania, it's now the 3rd most commonly observed #Insect in #NYC on #iNaturalist.

The red blobs are antennae, the black eyes just above those.
