The Pennsylvania Dept. Of Ag takes this insect seriously. They believe it could have an impact similar to what the Gypsy Moths did or at least as bad as the emerald ash borer. Instead of damage being done with the lumber crop it would be on our farms. Not good.
I for one do not want that insect in my area. It has been known that Honey Bees will go after the Honey Dew the lantern fly secretes. I would be royally pissed if a honey harvest was ruined due to these insects. Harvest from 30 Hives ruined would be devastating.
This is also one of the reasons I no longer harvest fall honey. Fuck these insects.
Two summers ago I kept seeing this strange old lady off the path staring at trees. Every time I saw her, she was examining a tree and sometimes taking notes. I finally saw her at one endpoint of my walk with trays filled with hundreds or even thousands of these dead lanternfly pests. It seems her one job is to kill these lanternflies.
archive.today (archive.ph) has a plug-in available for most browsers that automates archiving through a right-click menu option. Their landing page should have the install option available in the upper right corner.
Thanks, Yeah I do, just did not realize that it would be paywalled on mobile. We should really have every link posted here archived. It would be very easy for @system to automate.
