<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> Today it appears that in Blue Marsh, (north of Reading, Pennsylvania), the mature SLF are beginning to disperse across the landscape. This is the first time they were actively flying
and on specific plants they were not on before. On Monday I did the same route and saw no flying.I saw late instar nymphs, immature adults and mature adults (twice the size of immature), along with what appeared to be early mating behavior although no egg
masses were seen. In the fall I will post photos on Slideshare.net which will bring the research up to date from the last posting in June.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> Monday my walking partner showed me a new SLF food source, a mature telephone pole. I confirmed it today with additional photos. This goes good with the iron fence posts, an iron
log splitter, oak trees, ash trees and similar which I have seen SLF and/or SLF egg masses on, as apparent food sources. So now, we have 73 potential food sources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
