Earlier in the week, we reported that the Spotted Lanternfly had been seen in Hell’s Kitchen. Since then, multiple reports have come in of other sightings around the neighborhood. The Spotted Lanternfly is billed as the “the worst invasive species in the United States in 150 Years” and even NYC Parks has put out a request to terminate the insects, saying: “Harming our city’s wildlife is prohibited, but in an effort to slow the spread of this troublesome species, we are putting out a one-time call: if you see a spotted lanternfly, please squish and dispose of this invasive pest.”
