A Penn State graduate study launched in 2020 to learn which species of birds and other predators are eating spotted lanternflies continues to rely on reported sightings from the public.

Kelli Hoover, professor of entomology in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, and Anne Johnson, a doctoral candidate in entomology, are spearheading a study that asks anyone who observes a bird or other predator feeding on one of the invasive insects to report that sighting in an email to birdsbitingbadbugs@gmail.com.
