The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) poses a serious threat to the European wine industry. It has a wide range of hosts and can survive in our climate.

It's egg masses can be deposited machinery etc. so there is a high likelihood of it arriving in Europe.

Be prepared! Learn how to identify it and report any possible sightings with the AGIIR app or on this web site:

Pennsylvania:

It's Spotted Lanternfly hatching time! Check your garden plants.

There were none on the rose bushes on Friday. There were groups of twenty or so nymphs on those same bushes today. The majority of them were shaken off into a cup of soapy water, then chucked in the trash.

I don't like killing things, especially when they are so cute, but there are too many to leave to natural predators. I hope the spiders get any we missed.
