Spotted Lanternfly
Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive planthopper that feeds on a wide range of plants, including grapes, hops, stone fruits, and hardwood trees. When the spotted lanternfly feeds, it excretes a sticky, sugary fluid that causes sooty mold, which can further damage plants. Its preferred host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and today 17 States have some degree of infestation.

Beech Leaf Disease
Beech leaf disease (BLD) is a lethal disease that affects both native and ornamental beech trees. It was first discovered in Ohio in 2012 and has since spread to 13 states in the Eastern United States and Canada, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. BLD is caused by a microscopic nematode, Litylenchus crenatae mccannii, that damages a tree's leaves, leading to reduced vigor and eventually tree mortality.
