r in Washington Boro, Lancaster County, made a plea earlier this week to all those who have wrapped lanternfly tape around their trees as a way to catch them.Too many other animals are mistakenly getting attached to it and suffering injuries.
The post went on to point out that two bats recently ventured into the tape and had to be removed, “but not without heartbreak. The first bat has a broken wing that we are not sure if it will heal properly for flight, the second bat was a nursing mother that now two baby bats are starving to death. This now effects 4 bat lives for 1 lanternfly that was stuck to the tape.
By now, most residents of central and eastern Pennsylvania are families with lanternflies, an invasive pest that was discovered in Berks County in 2014.
