Episode Details

Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive bug from Southeast Asia, poses a threat to southern Ontario. This planthopper, which has already caused damage in the northeastern United States, chews through over 100 types of trees and plants. Its expected to reach Canada soon, with reports of dead and live bugs in various locations. The bugs life cycle includes four nymph stages and adults with pinkish gray bodies, black spots, and bright red underwings. The real concern is the damage to grapevines, young trees, and hardwoods like black walnut trees. If you spot the bug or egg masses, report it to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Travelers from infested U.S. states should check their gear and vehicles before crossing back.
