They can hop powerfully over short distances, but are also able to fly relatively far and high. Since its debut in Pennsylvania, SLF is now being seen in Delaware as well as in New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Washington state has also reported a sighting.<\/p>\n<p>A beautiful but deadly insect, it feeds on trees using its needle-like mouthparts, called a stylet. The mouthparts insert into plant tissue and suck up sap like a straw. As they feed, the insects excrete a sticky substance called honeydew that facilitates the growth of sooty mold (a fungal disease) and attracts other insects. SLF breeds in large numbers and often feeds in large groups so they are easily seen, frequently congregating at the base of a host tree.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4955\" style=\"width: 204px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spotted-lanternfly-egg-masses-should-be-scrapred-off-of-trees-scaled-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/spotted-lanternfly-egg-masses-should-be-scrapred-off-of-trees-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"spotted lanternfly egg mass\" width=\"204\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spotted lanternfly egg masses should be scraped off of trees.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Interestingly, the preferred host of SLP is another invasive species, Tree of Heaven (<em>Ailanthus altissima<\/em>).
