Please make this known!! super important
The first seen individual of the infestation at the park.
One week of chasing these guys and I got pretty good at catching them.
12+ adult and nymphs were noticed on dead standing tree. DEC and NYC parks was notified.
😬
(lanternfly was already dead, like everything around this building; i will email DEC.)
With forewings missing. Not happy to see that these have reached Parker.
2nd of two individuals spotted on tree
Another specimen found in same vicinity as previous week. Active freight train tracks nearby. Killed after photo was taken.
