Lanternflies,
which
are not flies
but
insects called planthoppers,
have a
chameleonic life cycle.
They
hatch in the spring
as
wingless, glossy black nymphs
with
white spots,
and pass
through several stippled phases
before
maturing in midsummer.
The
adults are certainly hard to miss.
They are
clunky fliers,
reliant
on gusts of wind
to coast
from tree to tree,
according to Julie Urban,
an
evolutionary biologist at Penn State.
Fortunately,
the
insects pose no threat to humans.
If a
lanternfly lands on you
— and it
likely will —
you may
feel a slight poke.
But this
is from the bug’s tarsal claws,
not its
mouth,
Dr.
Urban said.
Lanternflies do pose a serious threat
to
American crops, particularly vineyards.
The
insects sip on sap
from
ornamental fruit trees and grape vines,
a
refined palate that could cost the state
at least
$324 million per year
and
eliminate 2,800 jobs,
according to a study published
by Penn
State economists in 2019,
which
also included
a
worst-case scenario of $554 million
lost per
year.
