The Spotted Lanternfly Life Cycle in Monroeville
One generation per year, four stages, each with its own window for control
Allegheny County has been under the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's spotted lanternfly quarantine since 2020. Knowing where this pest is in its life cycle helps determine the most effective time to act.
Newly hatched nymphs are small, black with white spots, and easy to mistake for ticks or spiders. They climb host plants to feed, going through four growth stages before reaching adulthood.
Adults reach their recognizable red-and-black winged form and become the most visible, active stage, often gathering in large numbers on tree trunks and outdoor surfaces.
Adults remain active into fall, feeding heavily and laying mud-covered egg masses on trees, decks, and outdoor surfaces before the first hard freeze ends the season.
Egg masses laid the previous fall survive the winter attached to hard surfaces, ready to hatch again once temperatures rise in spring.
