Folks… If you haven’t seen or heard about this already, there is much concern statewide (and beyond)
about the potential threat of the Spotted Lanternfly, now making its way north through Pennsylvania and
has been found already in Yates County, NY. The feed sources are numerous, hence the various webinars
(one hour each) listed below, each targeted to specific crops. Scan through the webinar listings to find one
(or more) that may be pertinent to your production. Registration links are provided; recordings also will
be made available. D.
Spotted Lanternfly Basics: Webinar Announcement
A new webinar series is being developed to provide information on spotted lanternfly, an invasive pest that has been found to feed on 70 species of plants in both the agricultural and urban segments of the northeastern United States.
The spotted lanternfly is an excellent hitchhiker and moves primarily through human movement, giving it the potential
to show up anywhere in the United States. It is important to know how to properly identify this pest and report its
sighting. Each webinar will be one hour in length and cover:
Overview of spotted lanternfly biology and identification
Overview of hosts
Monitoring and management strategies
Regulatory update
While the content may be relevant to audiences throughout the Northeast, management practices covered will be
specific to New York. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions.
Co-presented by the NYS IPM Program, NYS Dept. of Agriculture and Markets, and the Northeastern IPM Center.
Webinars will be recorded and posted here a few days after the live event.
