DID YOU KNOW????
Lanternflies are attracted to Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). Because the USA is not their home, they don't know it is poisonous, and they eat it, and it kills them. The poisonous sap also slows them down, so they are much easier to catch and smush in your hand.
~Consider planting milkweed in your garden~
