The Spotted Lanternfly from Asia poses a threat to many industries in the United States of America. From lumber to farmers crops, this sap-sucking creature can kill a variety of trees and plants that many of us depend on to make a living.  

What would happen if there was no more lumber to build with? No more grapes or apples? This beautiful, yet destructive, pest must be stopped in its tracks!

How did it get here? What can you do to help? How might this critter affect your life down the line?  

Join us as we learn all about this invasive creature that is making news headlines across America!
