Spotted lanternflies, native to Asia, were first identified in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014. They have swarmed New York City every summer since 2020 and have become a nuisance across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Midwest. While they pose no risk to humans, lanternflies can damage agricultural crops, particularly grapevines.
Major predators are praying mantis, chickens, gray catbirds, yellow jackets, garter snakes, and koi.
I do wonder what new flora and fauna the United States might acquire with the present mass immigration from all over the world.
