I agree. When I read the Penn State notices I took this very seriously. Of course the problem is winged insects are designed for self dispersal. I work in PA forests almost every weekend and return to Maryland. What a fine vector I make.<br>
<br>
I sent a note around to my forest health team and Club leaders to share with their land managers. This is a case study of why we need to care about forest health and those "pretty" plants. We now have an example of a how a non native invasive (alianthius)
prepared the way for a non native invasive organism that threatens our timber industry and our agricultural industry. This is a lot easier to explain than the impacts on soil ecology.<br>
<br>
I plan to use this as the prime example in my lead article for the series I am writing for the PATC Newsletter and perhaps the ATC Journey. Forest Health is kind of a "that's nice" thing until people see how it relates to food production and cash crops.<br>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just adding to this discussion… am taking Forest Ecosystem Protection class currently, at Penn State Mont Alto w/ Dr. Beth Brantley. For our first class, she brought in two former students now working w/ DCNR, focused on the Spotted Lanternfly
situation in SE PA. This is not a good situation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">These true bugs have been found feeding on nearly EVERYTHING indiscrimately (oak, hickory, black walnut, hops[completing life cycle on these]) while they progress through their 4 instar stages, as well as Ailanthus (as adults). Other thin
bark trees (black birch, red maple, black cherry) as well as stone fruit and grapes are targets.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Egg masses (30-100 ova in each) overwinter on tree bark or other surfaces - not easy to spot (dk. grayish) and that’s most likely how they arrived on a shipment of stones.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eggs can be laid on vehicles, boats, RV’s, trailers, etc. so transport to other areas is a valid concern. Think of athletic venues and populations of fans traveling, vacationers, etc. so education and vigilance are a big push in the quarantine
area and its environs.<o:p></o:p></p>

spread over time….<o:p></o:p></p>

to us to show us where they found egg masses (in a fold of exfoliating river birch bark, on ironwood, ash and oak trees). We had seen our first adults only a couple weeks before, and never saw any juveniles (and we don’t have any ailanthus on the square-mile
preserve). Some of the egg masses are out of reach. For every adult we see, how many do we not see? Coming to a landscape near you.

and investigation as to its current range. I believe it was discovered around 2014, and so its spread is still relatively "slow", yet certainly concerning. It may not have yet reached that critical mass, and it would be excellent if the efforts of the commonwealth
were successful in containing it. The State is putting considerable efforts into this program, partially (I would imagine) because it has the potential to disrupt a major economic driver in PA (fruit and wine industries). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
