  • They're colorful, they're pretty, and they're quick. But this insect has got to go. It's the invasive spotted lanternfly, and parts of New Jersey have been divided into quarantine zones to try to contain the bugs. Now they're popping up all across our area, even in Manhattan.
    So why are they a problem? And where did they come from? And what should you do if you see one?
    Lee Goldberg chats with Dr. Jessica Ware of the American Museum of Natural History on what we all have to know to stop or slow this invasive bug's spread before serious damage happens to our trees and plants. More: 7ny.tv/2ZZCfkp

    I love Dr. ware! I saw her in a clip some months ago about cicadas and now on this one, she’s got such a beautiful energy to her and you can tell she’s genuinely passionate about entomology. She just seems like one of those genuinely super nice people!

    If you can't reach the lantern fly, use anything like Windex to zap them & they fall and you can kill them. They tend to jump so a spray of even hair spray will temporarily disable them so you can kill them.

    People stomping them individually won’t make a dent. The adults will die in winter but their egg masses will survive. Professional exterminators in every infested area are needed or spring and summer of 2023 will be a nightmare and huge devastation to trees and landscapes.

    3. One spoon of some type of food oil (optional)
    4. Fill the rest with water
