Abstract
- The article informs that according to a study conducted by Maureen Tang, a chemical and biological engineer at Drexel University, plant-killing insect can lay its eggs on almost any surface, including vehicle exteriors. It mentions that adult lanternflies feast on more than 70 plant species and leave behind so-called honeydew droppings, which attract wasps and other stinging insects and which breed a black, sooty mold that can significantly damage plant.
