“Dear PoPville,
I just saw and killed a spotted lanternfly at my office in the District. The link to report them to the D.C. government is here.
D.C. has information about spotted lanternflies and how to recognize them at their different life stages here. (I’d seen lots of photos of adults, and some photos/illustrations of egg masses, but I didn’t know until today what the two nymph stages look like.)
Please keep an eye out and report any spotted lanternflies or egg masses that you see. (When possible, please also squash the bugs and scrape egg masses).
