U.S. Vineyards Struggle Against Invasive Spotted Lanternflies

U.S. Vineyards Struggle Against Invasive Spotted Lanternflies

U.S. vineyards, particularly in Virginia and New York, are battling an infestation of spotted lanternflies, invasive insects that damage grapevines and reduce yields. The lanternflies, native to China, were first detected in the U.S. in 2014 and have since spread to 19 states. They feed on plant sap and excrete a sugary liquid that attracts other pests. The infestation has significantly impacted the wine industry, with some vineyards reporting a 50% reduction in grape production. Efforts to control the population include removing host plants and using insecticides, but the bugs continue to spread.
