Suitable Range for Spotted Lanternfly Refined in New Study

Closeup of a spotted lanternfly on the right side of the image, climbing on a thin, grayish-brown branch that runs diagonally upward to the left and is blurry in the foreground to the left. The lanternfly's body is dark bluish-black in color with a pointed head and a black beady eye near the point of its head and a small orange spot below its eye. Its wings, held back over its abdomen, are pinkish gray in base color with several black spots.
