What Plant Characteristics are the Spotted Lantern Flies Attracted to in the NYC Ecosystem?

For our project, we wanted to investigate the spotted lantern fly after observing them throughout the summer in NYC. We looked into the lifecycle of the fly and what exactly attracts them in our ecosystem. We also looked into what makes them invasive and dangerous to our environment. We hope that by reading our research, you can learn what the spotted lantern flies actually are and why they are bad.
