FALLS VILLAGE, Conn.—Dr. Gale Ridge, director of the Insect Information Office at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and one of the nation’s leading entomologists, will present “The Spotted Lanternfly, Connecticut’s Uninvited Guest” Thursday, May 14, at 2 p.m. at the David M. Hunt Library.
This fast-spreading invasive species has become impossible to miss in Connecticut, turning up on trees, patios and cars across the state. Dr. Ridge will discuss how the lanternfly arrived in the United States, how it spreads and reproduces, and what each of us can do to reduce its impact.
Learn how to identify the insect at every stage of its life cycle and get practical advice for protecting the plants and trees in your own backyard.
