Pennsylvania watch out: Spotted lanternflies get their wings
(WHTM) — It's been a calm summer, but soon they'll be flying in your face. The invasive spotted lanternfly inhabits all but ten of Pennsylvania's counties. The polka-dotted planthoppers began hatching in May and June, and come July they will get their wings. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The species has spent the last few months as immature nymphs. Spotted lanternflies have four nymph stages known as instar phases, according to Cornell Integrated Pest Management. During this time, they can only hop or crawl, and they are often mistaken for other insects. As the adult stage begins in late July, the spotted lanternfly will develop its distinct red wings with black polka dots. They will remain in this stage until their deaths in December, though not before mating in August. The invasive species is native to Asia. However, the first sighting of the pest in the United States was in 2014 in Berks County. It poses a serious risk to agriculture in PA, feeding on grapes and fruit trees. Anyone who spots the spotted pest should squash it and scrape any eggs found on trees, vehicles, playgrounds or other outdoor surfaces. World Snake Day: Many, sometimes venomous, snakes call Pennsylvania home Officials said it's especially important to ensure spotted lanternflies are not on trucks, firewood or plants being transported across the state. If you see a spotted lanternfly, officials ask you to report it online or call 1-888-4BADFLY. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Stockton Emergency Food Bank hit with fourth fire in just weeks
A fire has hit the Stockton Emergency Food Bank for the fourth time in roughly three weeks, crippling their operations. The Stockton Fire Department said flames from a grass fire spread to the building, burning a building as well as a storage crate and cardboard boxes in the loading area. The initial call came in around 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Dr. Leonard Hansen, CEO of the food bank, says this is a gut punch to their daily operations. He's trying to figure out a way to clean this all up, get necessary and useful equipment cleaned and sanitized, and then still be up in the morning and hand out the food they give to families. Hansen said the food bank expects about 500 cars every single day. That includes people who need the food and 107 other sites and organizations that rely on the food bank to deliver. For Dr. Hansen and the community, this will be hard to overcome, and he feels that someone did this on purpose. In June, three fires occurred at the food bank within a week. "I can't explain the behavior, but this is not accidental," he said. "How do you take care of the people and the folks who depend on you, so you find a way?" These fires are still under investigation. Hansen says the city will send more engineers in the morning to check on the structure's integrity. During the third fire, surveillance video caught a suspect throwing an incendiary device into a pile of cardboard, burning through a shipping container with thousands of dollars worth of donations. Dr. Hansen says this is especially disheartening for San Joaquin County, which has roughly 83,000 people who are food insecure. Hansen said the food bank serves 88% of those people.
