What's the DEAL with the Spotted Lanternfly?
The Spotted Lanternfly is a growing problem in the US. First spotted in 2014 it's ravaging the north eastern US and causing millions of dollars in damage annually!
Thank you so much to Peter Coffey and Dalton Ludwick for letting me use their amazing photos of the spotted lanternfly!
Minor Correction about Jamie Kopco's job:
Jamie works for the Penn State University Extension Service - not the Department of Ag. His team is fully funded on a grant from the Department of Agriculture though, so there's a strong partnership.
