A “Sconce” Trap for Sampling Egg Masses of Spotted Lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula [PDF]

Insects
Survey and detection of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White), rely either on traps that exploit the insect’s behavior as it navigates its environment, or on visual surveys of either its mobile life stages or egg masses. A recently described
