Shortly a decade after first being detected in the United States, the invasive spotted lanternfly has now been detected and identified in Illinois for the first time.
Spencer Campbell, plant program coordinator with the Morton Arboretum, said the spotted lanternfly has gained enough prevalence in some northeastern states to impact local agricultural communities.
The spotted lanternfly feeds on a wide variety of plants, with a particular affinity for the invasive tree of heaven, maple trees and grapes. Officials say these plants should be monitored for any spotted lanternfly activity. Anyone who believes they may have seen a spotted lanternfly is asked to take pictures and contact [email protected] to report the sighting.
