A Spotted Lanternfly at Fort Indiantown Gap. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the Spotted Lanternfly or SLF, Lycorma delicatula (White), is an invasive planthopper native to Asia first discovered in PA in Berks County in 2014.
SLF feeds on sap from a myriad of plants but has a strong preference for plants important to PA's economy including grapevines, maples, black walnut, birch and willow. SLF's feeding damage stresses plants which can decrease their health and in some cases cause death.
