Mark Ware Jr, Matt Karst, and I found 4th instars and adult spotted lanternfly (#SLF) in Delaware County, PA last week. First identified in 2014 they have spread to several states. While not particularly deadly to ornamental trees, they produce copious amounts of honeydew (on which sooty mold grows) that can; reduce enjoyment of outdoor spaces, block photosynthetic activity, and rob plants of vascular system fluids.

DYK? Less than 10% of the ocean floor has been adequately mapped. The OFI-supported Benthic Ecosystem Mapping & Engagement (BEcoME) project, led by Dalhousie and Memorial University, is helping fill in the gaps: https://bit.ly/47L54ON
A new collaborative study finds that lakes across North America are being impacted by wildfire smoke, even when the blaze is nowhere nearby. This research was a team science project led by the Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) and was coordinated across many institutions, including UC Davis and the University of Nevada, Reno. It concludes that 99% of lakes were impacted by wildfire smoke for at least one day each year between 2019-2021, and 89% saw 30 days or more of smoke.
