Lanternfly

The invasive spotted lanternfly is anticipated to show in "significant" amounts this season. Residents are advised to squish the problem-causing pest.

Melody Lin took home second prize at the National 4-H in Agriculture Challenge for her project assessing spotted lanternfly risk in different areas of Ohio.

The invasive bugs with bright red wings and black dots known as spotted lanternflies are becoming such a threat that Ohio has issued a quarantine to fight them.
