Story and photos by Christy Frank

TOLEDO – Swarms of spotted lanternflies recently hitchhiked their way into Downtown Toledo, and while they look pretty, their vibrant colors are a deceptive cloak for the havoc this invasive insect could unleash on area agriculture and ecosystems.

The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive agricultural pest that spreads by getting a ride on human transportation modes, such as trains and cars. Amy Stone, Agriculture and Natural Resources educator with The Ohio State University, said that’s why so many of them are in the downtown area.
