“…Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White), is emerging as one of the most aggressive invasive auchenorrynchan pests in in the eastern US: it is extremely polyphagous and it can feed on over 70 host plants, such as apple, plum, cherry, peach, apricot, grape, pine, tree of heaven (preferred tree host), as well as many ornamental plants [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Nymphs and adults cause severe plant damage through the sucking of phloem sap from the vascular bundles of young stems or leaves, as well as producing honeydew and, consequently, creating conditions for sooty mold [1,6,7].…”

“…We also expected that the detected ingested plant DNA might not correspond with DNA of the plants on which the nymphs were collected. This expectation was based on the extreme mobility of L. delicatula, both horizontally and vertically, at all nymphal stages: nymphs ascend and descend their feeding plants from May-July as they develop into mature adults in mid-summer [1,3,4]. Finally, we expected to identify the ingested plants of various life forms and both native and introduced in the US based on a wide range of plants that L. delicatula attacks in its native and introduced range [5].…”

Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an introduced highly invasive insect pest in the US that poses a significant risk to forestry and agriculture. Assessing and predicting plant usage of the lanternfly has been challenging, and little is known regarding the lanternfly nymph association with its host plants. In this study, we focused on: (a) providing a protocol for using molecular markers for food plant identification of L. delicatula; (b) determining whether the ingested plant DNA corresponds with DNA of the plants from which the lanternfly was collected; and, (c) investigating the spectrum of ingested plants. We utilized gut contents of third and fourth instar nymphs that were collected from multiple plants; we isolated ingested plant DNA and identified consumed plants. We demonstrated that (a) up to 534 bp of the rbcL gene from ingested plants can be detected in L. delicatula guts, (b) ingested plants in ~93% of the nymphs did not correspond with the plants from which the nymphs were collected, and (c) both introduced and native plants, as well as woody and non-woody plants, were ingested. This information will aid effective the monitoring and management of the lanternfly, as well as predict the lanternfly host plants with range expansion.

“…An additional unknown involves whether, if SLF expands its range southward, it could become bi-or multivoltine in the USA. 2 However, this seems unlikely as SLF is reported to be univoltine in Nanjing, China, 25 which is at 32 ∘ N latitude, corresponding to Savannah, GA in the USA.…”

“…Any putative dietary requirements met from feeding on A. altissima (e.g., the need to obtain quassinoids that render SLF unpalatable to predators), may be fulfilled by SLF feeding on alternative preferred hosts, such as black walnut ( J. nigra ), Chinese toon ( Toona sinensis ), or Chinaberry ( Melia azedarach ); or these may be merely benefits and not truly requirements for survival and successful reproduction. An additional unknown involves whether, if SLF expands its range southward, it could become bi‐ or multivoltine in the USA . However, this seems unlikely as SLF is reported to be univoltine in Nanjing, China, which is at 32° N latitude, corresponding to Savannah, GA in the USA.…”

Spotted lanternfly (SLF), Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) is an invasive phloem‐feeding planthopper currently being quarantined in a 24 000 km2 area in eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware, with a second population under quarantine in a 46 km2 area in Virginia. Because this insect feeds on over 70 species of plants, it has the potential to impact a wide range of sectors, and as a result, there has been great public speculation that the economic impact of SLF could be severe. SLF is a large‐bodied voracious feeder that reduces plant resources directly by feeding, and indirectly, from sooty mold that grows on its excrement and blocks photosynthesis. SLF is causing severe damage to vineyards from feeding, and is a significant nuisance pest. It has high potential for spread via human‐mediated transport, particularly of egg cases, and may therefore significantly impact commerce in the near future. The ultimate impacts of this insect are not yet known, and will depend upon its longer term impacts on plant and tree health, and the extent to which its range expands. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

As part of national biosecurity programs, cargo imports, passenger baggage, and international mail are inspected at ports of entry to verify compliance with phytosanitary regulations and to intercept potentially damaging nonnative species to prevent their introduction. Detection of organisms during inspections may also provide crucial information about the species composition and relative arrival rates in invasion pathways that can inform the implementation of other biosecurity practices such as quarantines and surveillance. In most regions, insects are the main taxonomic group encountered during inspections. We gathered insect interception data from nine world regions collected from 1995 to 2019 to compare the composition of species arriving at ports in these regions. Collectively, 8,716 insect species were intercepted in these regions over the last 25 yr, with the combined international data set comprising 1,899,573 interception events, of which 863,972 were identified to species level. Rarefaction analysis indicated that interceptions comprise only a small fraction of species present in invasion pathways. Despite differences in inspection methodologies, as well as differences in the composition of import source regions and imported commodities, we found strong positive correlations in species interception frequencies between regions, particularly within the Hemiptera and Thysanoptera. There were also significant differences in species frequencies among insects intercepted in different regions. Nevertheless, integrating interception data among multiple regions would be valuable for estimating invasion risks for insect species with high likelihoods of introduction as well as for identifying rare but potentially damaging species.
