The Spotted Lanternfly
On Thursday, May 14th at 2 pm join Dr. Gale Ridge, director of the Insect Information Office at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and one of the nation’s leading entomologists, at the David M. Hunt Library for an informative presentation about this fast-spreading invasive species. The spotted lanternfly has become impossible to miss in Connecticut, turning up on trees, patios, and cars across the state. Dr. Ridge will discuss how the lanternfly arrived in the United States, how it spreads and reproduces, and what each of us can do to reduce its impact. Learn how to identify the insect at every stage of its life cycle and get practical advice for protecting the plants and trees in your own backyard.
