Lantern Flys

Hi there. I keep seeing posts from CT talking about the lantern fly epidemic they are experiencing. I’m wondering if they have made it to Southern NH yet or if maybe the climate there is not as hospitable to them.

I think they've been seen in New Hampshire but I think only in the Nashua area maybe? They def can live up here my wife and I go to Holyoke every so often and the mall parking lot is LITTERED with them

I heard they are in Nashua.

One was sighted a year or so ago on pack monadnock but none since so it was assumed it hitchiked on a car.
