The Spotted Lanternfly is knocking on North Carolina’s door. First detected in Pennsylvania in 2014, this invasive insect is spreading quickly and was recently found very close to our state line. It’s likely just a matter of time until it’s confirmed here. But what will this newest pest mean for our state, and what is being done about it? Join us to learn about this insect’s biology, the many problems it will bring with it, and the survey, management and outreach programs in place.
