On September 22, 2014 the Entomology Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture received a report from an educator from the Pennsylvania Game Commission The report detailed damage to Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven) on private property in Eastern Berks County, PA being caused by an unknown insect Original photographs from report: About the pest Community response Lycorma delicatula (WHITE): A Planthopper in the Family Fulgoridae About 129 Genera, 696 Species in the world Only 9 Genera and 17 species in North America Formation Lycorma is represented by 7 species worldwide Planthopper Like most planthoppers, Lycorma pierce the stems of plants or trees with their proboscis. Christopher Marley Marley Christopher The spotted lanternfly is native to Asia and is found in China, Bangladesh, Vietnam It was introduced to Japan, South Korea and Pennsylvania In South Korea, it is considered an invasive pest and impacts grapes and peaches Current Distribution: 2 Years of Banding indicates a central point of introduction Impact: Kutztown University has started to develop a list of host plants used in PA The Kutztown studies have shown that early in their life, spotted lanternflies will make use of many plant species (78), but strongly prefer Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima). As the insects become adults, they will feed almost exclusively on Tree of Heaven A list of hosts is available on this web-site from Penn State: http://extension.psu.edu/pests/spotted-lanternfly/news/2015/host-plants-used-by-spotted-lanternfly Impact: Potential to damage grape, orchard, hardwood, and nursery industries In PA, populations have been detected in managed grapes, damage comes from adult feeding waste (honeydew) Egg Laying: Adults: July 24-December September 19-November Eggs: October-June One Generation Per Year Fourth Instar: Hatch and 1st Instar: July 7-September May 12- June Third Instar: June 24-Mid July Second Instar: June 03- July The eradication program relies on cooperation.

Identification and Biology of Spotted Lanternfly Lycorma( Delicatula)
Identification and Biology of Spotted Lanternfly Lycorma( delicatula) The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect pest of fruit, ornamental, and woody trees. Spotted lanternfly is native to China, Bangladesh and Vietnam, but was first discovered in southeastern Pennsylvania in late 2014. Since this initial discovery, it has spread to at least eight additional states. The spotted lanternfly damages trees by feeding on them, and its waste product, honeydew, encourages the growth of mold that harms the health of the host plant. Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a preferred host, but this pest could potentially devastate grape (Vitis spp.) and logging industries. Identification The spotted lanternfly is a planthopper, with the adult being approximately 1 inch long and 0.5 inch wide at rest (Fig. 1). Its forewings are gray in color with distinctive black spots and outlined wing tips, while the hind wings are red and black in color and contain a white band. Wings are held closed over the Fig. 1. The adult spotted lanternfly, shown resting on tree-of-heaven (top) and with its wings spread out (bottom). Photos: Lawrence Barringer, body unless in flight. Its abdomen is mostly black, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bugwood.org with yellow bands between segments. The early (1st – 3rd instar) immature stages are covered with white spots on a black body (Fig 2), and then develop red patches as they mature (4th instar) (Fig. 3). Are they found in Illinois? No. As of this writing, spotted lanternfly populations have only been found in the Mid- Atlantic region of the U.S., but they are capable of spreading quickly.

Be Alert for Spotted Lanternfly
Be Alert for Spotted Lanternfly Be Alert for Spotted Lanternfly Jamie Dahl, Forest Outreach Coordinator, Central State University Extension Ashley Kulhanek, Educator, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Medina County The spotted lanternfly (SLF) (Lycorma delicatula) is a new non-native invasive insect pest to the United States. Spotted lanternfly is thought to be native to China, Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan. However, it has been reported as a serious non-native, invasive pest in Korea. In the United States, it was discovered in 2014 in southeastern Pennsylvania, Berks County. Spotted lanternfly has the potential to cause harm to the tree fruit, grape, and hops industries. Though quarantined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, as of March 2020 the insect has spread to additional counties within Pennsylvania and to Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and West Virginia. For more information on its spread, please see the references at the end of this factsheet. As with any new invasive species, early prevention and detection are crucial to manage spread and impact of these non-native pests. As of March 2020, SLF has not been confirmed in Ohio. Nonetheless, residents are asked to be vigilant and report any suspected finds to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, to a local Extension office, or via the Great Lakes Early Detection Network (GLEDN) mobile app. Host Range The preferred host of SLF is Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) another introduced invasive species. SLF, however, feeds on a wide variety of plants throughout its life cycle, with nymphs reported as having a more diverse palate than their adult counterparts.

Figure 1. Lycorma delicatula adult at rest (a) and wings The datasheet will be updated as new spread (b) (Lawrence Barringer, Pennsylvania information becomes available. Department of Agriculture, Bugwood.org). Pest Description Eggs: Eggs are laid masses that contain 30 to 50 brown seed-shaped eggs, deposited in parallel rows, and covered with a yellowish-brown or grey secretion that hardens into an ootheca (Park et al., 2009; Yoon et al., 2011; Dara et al., 2015). The egg mass is about 25 mm (approx. 1 in.) long and may resemble a smear of mud. After emergence, egg masses may remain on trees for a year or more. The secretion deteriorates over the course of the year, leaving columns of empty, small, brown eggs, similar in appearance to tire tread (Fig. 2) (Dara et al., 2015). For additional information and images, see the Egg Mass Identification Tips presentation developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA). Nymphs: There are four instars. The first to third instars are black-bodied with white spots on the head, body, and legs (Fig. 3a). The fourth instar is mostly red with black legs, white spots, and distinct red wing pads (Fig.
