Just when you thought your battle with insects (cicadas) was over, now you need to be on the lookout for the very destructive Spotted Lantern Fly. The Spotted Lantern Fly is originally from China but showed up in Pennsylvania in 2012 probably as a stow away in shipping or packing materials. As a non-native species of limited mobility without natural predators it is spreading rapidly largely through human assisted travel.  

The arrival of this […]

Many thanks, again, to Jon Wolz who led a group of ten on the latest popup walk to Edwards Ferry in search of pawpaws. Although we didn’t find as many as we hoped to, everyone shook the trees and found some. Jon showed us the groves of pawpaw trees, how to look for the ripe ones that already dropped, and […]
