BIG BUG PROBLEM!!! The Spotted Lanternfly is here and this invasive species may cause *major* issues to agriculture, ecology and the economy. Quite honestly, this pest is a nasty invasive species. Initially detected in Pennsylvania in 2014, this species likely came from China.

This map below is very concerning. A recent study led by the USDA indicates a HIGH RISK of Spotted Lanternfly establishment…if the pest is detected. It’s clear a suitable environment for spread based on climate is across the lower Great Lakes and Midwest among other areas.

While the Spotted Lanternfly preferred host is the tree of heaven, it has been reported to attack more than 70 plant species, including grapes, apples, cherries, and several other fruit and timber tree species.

The Spotted Lanternfly attacks grapevines, fruit trees, cherry trees, apple trees, hops, and hardwood trees among others. They feed by sucking sap, weakening plants, reducing yields, and sometimes killing them. Threatens fruit bearing trees and vineyards in particular (major wine industry risk).

If you see one, SQUASH them, SMASH them!
