Lanternflies are an invasive planthopper that has the potential to greatly impact agricultural crops and hardwood trees.
The insects usually return in May. By July, they'll start to reach adult stage.
Lanternflies feed on the plant sap of grapevines, maples, black walnut, and other important plants in New Jersey. Fortunately, it does not harm humans or animals, but it can reduce the quality of life for people living in heavily infested areas.
