“Spotted” an odd-looking bug?​

It could be the invasive spotted lanternfly. This insect does not harm people or pets, but it is a nuisance pest that can damage trees and leave behind a sticky mess in your yard.​

If you find it in known infested areas, squish it. If you spot it in a new area, take a photo and report it.​
