East Pennsboro Township shared Friday that they’ve been “receiving a lot of calls about Spotted Lanternflies lately” as the weather begins to warm.

According to the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Spotted Lanternflies begin hatching in May and June. Mating season takes place in late August with egg-laying in the fall months.

The invasive species is native to Asia; however, in 2014, it was found in Pennsylvania and has spread across the state. Last month, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture expanded its spotted lanternfly quarantine to four more counties, meaning all but 10 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties are in the quarantine.

Those in the quarantine area should squash any spotted lanternflies they come across and scrape any eggs found on trees, vehicles, playgrounds, or other outdoor surfaces.

Officials say it’s especially important to ensure spotted lanternflies are not on trucks, firewood, or plants being transported across the state.

“As you clean up your yard or just enjoy beautiful Pennsylvania spring days, you can help keep lanternflies from becoming a summer nuisance and harming our valuable grape and nursery industries,” Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “Every spotted lanternfly egg mass you scrape and squash is 30-50 damage-causing insects that won’t hatch in May.”

If you see a spotted lanternfly, officials ask you to report it online or via phone by calling 1-888-4BADFLY.
