Spotted Lantern Fly, invasive insect, has recently arrived in Framingham.

05/22/2026

Spotted lanternfly eggs are hatching. There is still time to crush and destroy. This non-native invasive insect threatens trees and crops.

Spotted Lanternfly egg masses began hatching in Massachusetts late last week, and tiny black Spotted Lanternfly nymphs are now active in parts of the Commonwealth.

The hatching process will continue over the coming weeks, which means there is still an opportunity to eliminate any unhatched egg masses on your property.

Be sure to crush the egg masses thoroughly when you remove them to ensure that the eggs are completely destroyed.
