The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that is currently in the mid-Atlantic United States and has the potential to settle in California and have a profound impact on our agriculture and natural environment. A key to slowing the spread of spotted lanternfly is early detection and rapid response, which requires education of citizens and resource professionals.  This course explores the pest's lifecycle, how they feed, travel and what to do if you see it in California.
