There’s a new invasive insect attacking trees—the spotted lanternfly. While this invasive insect has been attracting attention for a while in the Northeast, gathering in large numbers and feeding on trees, last year it was detected in southeastern Indiana, just across the river from Kentucky (Figure 1). Spotted lanternfly poses a major risk to trees in forests, landscapes, and orchards. While we don’t want to find spotted lanternfly in Kentucky any time soon, the sooner it is detected after it arrives, the more options will be available for managing it.
