Spotted Lanternfly

Eggs start to hatch this time of year.

Be on the lookout for the 5 most invasive insects here in the Garden State. If you see them, step on them!

The summer of 2022 will be remembered for the spotted lanternfly in New Jersey, and it looks like summer 2023 might be round 2,

New Jersey waged a battle last summer with the spotted lanternfly, but they are about to hatch again for a brand new season.

During the Season 48 premiere of SNL, Bowen Yang hilariously personified the spotted lanternfly during Weekend Update.

Most New Jersey residents hunt and kill the destructive Spotted Lanternfly, but one woman chose to immortalize it instead.

This woman just got a tattoo that is flying around the news right now.

It's things like these that make me wonder: "Have all of our efforts been in vain?" *insert horror movie music* Spotted. Lanternflies. It seems like we've been talking about their impending return forever now, with wildlife organizations and experts telling us to snuff them out before they reach adulthood...

They're baaaaaack.... Well, almost back. Those pesky, destructive, annoying spotted lantern flies are due to make their reappearance in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware this Spring.... ugh. Well it's Spring right now. So where are they...

There's still some time to spare, but the clock is ticking: In New Jersey, eggs usually hatch from mid-May into early June.
