What's New
Spotted Lanternfly
Early, immature stages of the spotted lanternfly are wingless and black and have white spots that develop to red patches.
At rest, the adult SLF resembles a colorful moth and shows light-brown, grayish wings with black spots held "tent-like" over its body. When the wings are open, yellow and red patches are exposed. Adult SLF are approximately 1" long and ½" wide.
SLF egg masses are 1-1.5" long and ½-¾" wide, shiny and grayish-brown in color when fresh. They weather to a flat gray-brown color with age.
A potentially very serious pest of grapes, peaches, hops, and a variety of other crops, the spotted lanternfly (SLF), Lycorma delicatula, was detected in Frederick County, Virginia, on Jan. 10, 2018.
It is important to look for it and report any finds.
Spotted lanternfly has also been reported on a range of ornamentals around the home and in the landscape.
