Mount Joy Snowman Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 5 hours ago, TheDreamTraveler said: Something I noticed was that the spotted lantern flies were not as bad this year as they were the year before. I was reading this article about how after the third year the population plummets. I wonder if it's due to their absurd numbers they just eat up the available food source which prevents as many appearing the years after? Certain trees here were covered in them but I didn't notice them as much this fall. Also I think the lantern flies are responsible for certain other insects being plentiful this year like wasps/hornets etc since those things not only eat the bodies of them but also eat the honeydew they produce. Definitely can't be a coincidence wasps exploded in numbers the season after we had so many lantern flies They have been virtually non-existent around here this year. Not complaining. But yeah the wasp explosion seems real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022 they treated 100 yellow jackets nests. This year they treated over 400 yellow jackets nests. I thought I was the only one with problems. And this year was the worst so far with the lanternflies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly seen zero on my property this year. Crazy how localized it can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Re: lantern flies They're migrating west and all over Pittsburgh I've heard. We've seen 2 or 3 this year, that's it. We noticed last year spiders and bees were attacking them, which we hadn't seen previously. My theory is they have a short lifespan like a cicada and other bugs took a few years to realize they're yummy and not deadly. Once they figured it out, the lantern flies have no counterattack function so they were sitting, well, flies. Edit: Year, not night. Bugs were swarming the lantern flies last year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Globals have been quickly backing away from any type of wide scale freeze for Eastern and Central PA next week. Disappointing as I personally want the growing season to wind down. GFS has some Western LSV lower elevation 32's Tue AM. Love the veggies but Nov is nearing. OP GFS actually shows 4 days in the 70's next week with 2 approaching or breaching 80. MDT and CXY posting 70's this afternoon but LNS not having it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up one of the best things was when it would be raining on one side of the house and not the other. We'd run from side to side.

ChescoWx Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not much rain from our latest event...only 0.06" here in East Nantmeal but it looks like almost a 1/2 inch of rain fell in some spots including Exton. Temps will struggle today to get above 60 degrees. We will see below normal temps through Tuesday before some above normal readings by the end of the week. Lows on Monday night will be in the 30's with some patchy frost possible in some of the lower spots. Records for today: High 85 (1947) / Low 19 (1922) / Rain 3.13" (1904) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
