The spotted Light
Manage episode 402632871 series 3554649
In this episode of "Arthropod Adventures," I will be discussing the spotted lanternfly, its scientific name, physical appearance, life cycle, and the damage it causes to trees. The spotted lanternfly is like a larger and more damaging version of the lady beetle, with its distinctive spotted appearance and a belief that it can light up like a firefly. It's fascinating to learn that the lanternfly is actually a leaf hopper, not a fly, and I will be describing its beauty and life cycle in detail. It's important to note the negative impact of this insect, such as the presence of black mold and its preference for the invasive tree of heaven. Lastly, I invite all of you to share your thoughts and suggest other arthropods you would like to hear about in future episodes.
