Spotted lanternfly update at Virginia Vineyards Assocation winter meeting

Hello, everyone,
Today I presented an update on spotted lanternfly at the Virginia Vineyards Association Winter Technical Meeting in Charlottesville.  A great crowd, lots of interest!  I reviewed the current status of the Virginia infestation, the eradication program, the quarantine program established by VDACS last May, extension resources and control measures.  The control measures are merely the best we have at this time - clearly more research is needed!  I am including here, links to SLF information (in English and Spanish).  Please let me know if you have questions (and especially if you have SLF sightings!) (SLF reporting portal: https://ask.extension.org/groups/1981/ask)
