Hear the latest research on spotted lanternfly predators from Postdoctoral Researcher Anne Johnson from Penn State. Johnson will share insights from her current research on the predators currently feeding on the spotted lanternfly and offer a look at which North American predators are most effective at controlling the spotted lanternfly. She will also share early findings from her work to determine how milkweed consumption impacts SLF.

This event is part of the Cornell Integrated Pest Management academic seminar series, designed to increase awareness of new research and techniques that advance Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and its adoption in various pest management settings.

Anne Johnson is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Entomology at Penn State. She studies how species native to North America interact with spotted lanternflies and how this could be applied to control their populations. In particular, she researches predators of spotted lanternfly found in the United States and how feeding on milkweed affects spotted lanternfly.
