Spotted lantern fly by David W M Roberts

2023

About the Item

This planthopper first caught my attention in global news coverage whilst researching for a new series based on invasive species. I have become fascinated with the colours and characters of individual insects within otherwise anonymous swarms. The Spotted lantern fly has swarmed into New York City every summer since arriving in the USA from Asia in 2014. Residents have been officially encouraged to kill them. I was intrigued that something so beautiful could be causing so much damage to agriculture and to communities which rely on farming, not only in the USA but in every country these flies are accidentally transported.
