USDA vs Lanternflies
William Anderson and Bethany Benedict, Plant Protection and Quarantine technicians with the Department of Agriculture, discover hundreds of adult spotted lanternflies (Lycorma delicatula) on a tree of heaven in a residential area in Elverson, Pennsylvania, on August 29, 2018. The USDA is working to address the spread of the spotted lanternfly, a destructive insect that feeds on a wide range of trees and has the potential to become a major agricultural pest. Native to China, it was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since been found in several nearby states.
