Spotted lanternfly, a crop-damaging species, may invade Michigan

Posted on June 25, 2020 by admin

Michigan might be receiving an unwelcome, winged guest. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is urging residents to keep their eyes peeled for the spotted lanternfly.
The spotted lanternfly is a winged, plant-hopping insect that is native to eastern Asia and is considered a crop-damaging, invasive species in America. It was accidentally introduced in Pennsylvania by 2014 and has spread rapidly. Infestations have been confirmed in Delaware, Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia.
The Department of Natural Resources said lanternflies cause harm by sucking sap from plants then releasing liquid called honeydew. This honeydew and its mold then kill the plants. If that wasn’t enough, the sugary honeydew attracts pests like hornets and wasps, the DNR said. These pests further harm crop harvests and hinder outdoor recreation.

Spotted lanternflies damage a variety of plants, including grapes, apples, cherries and hardwood trees.
While the spotted lanternfly has yet to be spotted in Michigan, if introduced, it could spell big trouble for the state’s harvests, especially considering that farmers are grappling with complications surrounding COVID-19.
Robert Miller, invasive species prevention and response specialist for MDARD, says that early detection is crucial for containing the spotted lanternfly. While they can’t fly very far, they lay their eggs on nearly any surface, including cars, trailers, firewood and outdoor furniture. Lanternfly eggs resemble dried up gum.
If you find a spotted lanternfly egg mass, nymph or adult, take at least one picture, detail the sighting, and report it to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development by email at MDA-Info@michigan.gov or by phone through the MDARD Customer Service Center, 800-292-3939. If possible, collect a specimen in a container for verification.
