Removal of Spotted Lanternfly Egg Masses | University of Maryland Extension
As the weather gets chilly many are seeing the Spotted Lantern Fly in large groups on a wide range of plants including grapes, peaches, apples, walnuts, oaks, and pines. They do not bite or sting people or pets. We thought we should reprint some information on these insects.

NOW is the time to check your trees for their egg masses and alert your neighbors to do the same. Freshly laid egg masses look like blotches as they dry the surface cracks and looks like brown eggs.
