Event Details

Learn why these insects are fearsome pests. What do they look like? How do we fight them? Be ready for their arrival, if they haven't already appeared in your community. This presentation includes the latest research and statistics from Penn State and other researchers, as well as relevant information for homeowners. Learn how to detect, identify, and remove these pests from your property.

Presenter Dianne Machesney has been a Penn State Master Gardener since 2011 and is a naturalist with a life-long love of gardening and nature. The Spotted Lantern Fly is a particularly devastating invasive insect making its way westward across Pennsylvania. Dianne will address what we all need to look out for as we prepare for this serious agricultural pest. In addition to presenting information about the Spotted Lantern Fly, Dianne is available to share her vast knowledge of poisonous plants, deer resistant gardening, weed ID and control, and gardening to attract butterflies.
