Spotted Lanternflies are an invasive species from China that weakens and damages plants. Currently, they are rapidly reproducing here in New York City. This project aims to introduce the Spotted Lanternfly, explain its harmful effects, and outline methods for reducing its population. Data was collected from iNaturalist and NYC Open Data. The data was then sorted and used in Excel to create various charts and graphs. The key results were that a large majority of Spotted Lanternflies were found in Central Park, and its two most common host trees are the Red Maple and Norway Maple. Additionally, they were rarely spotted during the fall and winter. This observation indicates that this is the duration in which they lay their eggs. The key methods to reduce the population of the invasive species are to report sightings and destroy egg masses. These findings will help reduce the population of Spotted Lanternflies and help save the plants and wildlife of New York City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
