Event Details
A new invasive pest has been detected in North Carolina for the first time in June, the spotted lanternfly. What does its presence here mean for us, and how can we play a role in stopping it? The discussion led by Dr. Kelly Oten will focus on the biology, identification, and potential impacts of spotted lanternflies in North Carolina, and how to report them.
