The spotted lanternfly is an invasive insect introduced to Pennsylvania in 2014 and now found in New Castle County, Delaware. As this insect makes its way further south into our state, they feed on a variety of host plants, posing a threat to our commercial crop industry. To learn more, the Extension302 crew virtually "sat down" with our resident Ornamentals Integrated Pest Management Brian Kunkel and DDA CAPS Coordinator, Stephen Hauss.
