There may be an increase in stained lanterns this year after the population previously experienced a significant decrease, they warn experts.
These predictions are based on an increase in egg mass counts in a Berks County vineyard, Pennsylvania, such as Hottel, an Atomologist at Atlanta -based Orkin, told Fox News Digital.
“Although it is unclear if this increase will be a real increase in populations, experts ask people to be watching as the activity increases this season,” he said.

“People can begin to see more activity of the lantern in the coming weeks as the weather continues to warm up,” said Hottel.
An article from the New York Post called them “Crasat by sex” and stated that the lanterns are “again strongly”.

Although lanterns are a serious risk to plants and crops, they are not a danger to humans or animals, according to experts. The insect does not chop, bite or transmit diseases.
The National Park service, however, warns that these invasive insects could be a threat to agricultural production.

“Once established in an area, [the spotted lanternfly] It has the potential to dramatically affect forest ecosystems, agricultural production and cultural resources, “says its website.
Although the flashlight prefers to feed the exotic tree of the sky, which is also invasive, that is, it spreads quickly and damages local ecosystems, according to Hottel, it is an “indiscriminate pest” that feeds on more than 70 different plant species.

It also excrets a substance that causes harmful growth of molds to plants, pointed out the expert.
Pest services such as Orkin recommend that the homeowners can remove the seedlings of the young tree in the sky to prevent the flashlight from invading their property.

Northern states -contain the most established populations, although lanterns begin to extend to other North -American regions such as Midwest and South -East.
“Stained lanterns usually increase populations when they invade new areas and the population tends to decrease after a few years,” Hottel told Fox News Digital.

As the insect puts its eggs on hard surfaces such as vehicles, firewood, bricks, stones and other items often displaced outdoors, humans can easily transport and without knowing it.
“This means that lanterns can spread more widely in new territories and cause more damage,” said Hottel.

“Although this may not seem significant, a large-scale deployment of native American flora and fauna would have an impact on our local ecosystems in a significant way.”
