Identifying lanternflies is rather straightforward. Adult lanternflies measure about an inch in length and have gray wings with striking black markings. Their underwings are a striking blend of crimson and black.
Nymphs, on the other hand, have a black body with white dots that gradually turn red as they age. These pests use a needle-like mouthpart to puncture plant tissue and drain sap, depriving plants of crucial life force.
If you come find a lanternfly, take urgent steps to remove it. Fortunately, there are straightforward methods for achieving this. You can kill both adults and nymphs immediately, effectively eliminating the menace.
