Know Your Invasives - Spotted Lanternfly

Part of our "Know Your Invasives" awareness campaign, the Spotted Lanternfly Collection is designed to raise awareness about this invasive threat.

Why Focus on the Spotted Lanternfly?

The spotted lanternfly is a highly destructive invasive insect that threatens forests, orchards, and crops by feeding on plants and leaving behind a sticky residue that promotes mold growth. First detected in the U.S. in 2014, this pest has been spreading rapidly, costing millions in management efforts and economic losses. Raising awareness and promoting early detection are critical to slowing its spread.
