spotted lanternfly

Lanternflies have traveled from Ohio to Michigan in swarms. These destructive and disgusting bugs are more than just a nuisance.

The spotted lanternfly threatens to invade Michigan, poses a serious threat to Michigan apple crop and agriculture across the board.

Their potential damage is why the DNR is advising Michiganders to squish them on-site.

A bright, colorful insect that damages fruit, hops, and hardwood trees could be the next invasive species in Michigan.
