Be on the lookout for the invasive spotted lanternfly. The flies have been confirmed in ten counties in West Virginia, mostly in the eastern panhandle. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture said the pest is originally from Asia and has no known native predators in the U.S. Crops can be damaged, especially grapes, apples, hops, walnuts and hardwood trees. The Dept. of Agriculture wants to slow the spread of the spotted lanternfly by removing certain trees and treating infested areas with insecticide. Spotted lanternflies are confirmed in Hancock, Brooke, Mineral, Hampshire, Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson and Taylor and now Hardy and Grant counties.
