Spotted Lanternfly has been observed hatching in the Toledo area as 1st instar nymphs from egg masses laid last year.
We are encouraging residents to become familiar with this non-native invasive insect - the spotted lanternfly (SLF), and look for the pest in their own landscapes or places they frequent.
*This photo illustrates multiple generations - nymphs and adults.

Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) is in the adult stage. As of 09.10.2024 we have not had any reports of egg masses, but are anticipating seeing those soon. Adults are being observed in large numbers especially in the downtown area, east Toledo, and south Toledo, with numbers increasing in other areas of the county.
We continue to encouraging residents to become familiar with this non-native invasive insect - the spotted lanternfly (SLF), and look for the pest in their own landscapes or places they frequent.
