spotted lanternfly in hand
In August 2018, a diverse group of stakeholders gathered for the Entomological Society of America Plant-Insect Ecosystem Section’s Science Policy Field Tour, “Invasive Species Security: Protecting Our National Health, Food Supply, and Environment.” The 2.5-day tour visited the spotted lanternfly quarantine zone in Berks County, Pennsylvania; several affected orchards, vineyards, and hardwood and fir stands; the Port of Philadelphia; and the insect collection at the Drexel University Academy of Natural Sciences.
