Spotted Lanternfly Updates

Spotted Lanternfly is again making the news with a recent detection of a population in the state of Indiana.  In Muskingum County, we have previously had reports of single insects, but have not detected any breeding populations.  Across Ohio, one population was detected previously and we are continuing to scout and monitor for the development of more populations.
