What to do if you see a spotted lanternfly

If you spot a spotted lanternfly this summer, it's crucial to act quickly. This invasive insect threatens local agriculture and can damage fruit trees, grapevines, and other plants. Environmental officials urge you to report sightings and destroy any you find. By doing so, you're helping to prevent the insect from spreading and causing significant economic damage to local ecosystems and crops. It's a small step that can have a big impact on protecting our local environment.
