An invasive species of insect, the spotted lanternfly, is already in the Cleveland area, and experts warn the time to act is now before the population explodes.
“This is just an example of an insect that isn’t very specific to one target species; it’s causing ill effects on many different plant species,” said Garrett Ormiston, an expert at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
“It not only effects trees that are important for conservation, but also effects commercially important trees and plants and crops, including grapes,” said Ormiston.
