The Spotted Lanternfly, arrived first in New York City in 2020 and is now established in the lower Hudson Valley including Westchester County.
This invasive planthopper can become a real nuisance in landscapes and is a threat to vineyards. In this session we’ll review images of this insect so it can be recognized in its different life stages which range from tan egg masses to tiny crawling black nymphs to the adult with polka dotted outer wings and bright-orange underwings.
We’ll describe its life cycle and the favorite plants it feeds on. From there you’ll learn of the regulatory work to slow the spread of this invasive insect. By the end of the program, we’ll discuss spotted lanternfly traps and all of the management options.
