Seems like we get quite a few invasive species of fish and insects from China for one!
Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula, or SLF) is another stowaway from Asia on commercial products. This species is native to northern China and was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2014. It was immediately quarantined by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and vigorous eradication efforts were deployed. However, it has since spread to neighboring states in the Mid-Atlantic region, which elicits a feeling of déjà vu with BMSB, which was first detected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, but quickly spread to neighboring states.
