Event Description

Is living with spotted lanternflies part of the new normal?

With COVID-19 causing many annual Philadelphia traditions to be cancelled, locals may have noticed a more recently established annual event during their quarantine walks. However, this event is most unwelcome. It is the hatching, growth and dispersion of the invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula).

First detected in Pennsylvania six years ago, some in the region have been battling these bugs for years, while others may be only discovering them in their neighborhoods this summer. Join us for a free, virtual Zoom discussion as we explore the spotted lanternfly and what its presence means for you.

Featuring:

  • Jon K. Gelhaus, Ph.D., Professor of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Curator of Entomology
  • Karen Verderame, Animal Programs Developer and Invertebrate Specialist

Moderator: Michael Kaczmarczik, Adult Programs Developer
