Spotted Lanternfly inWyoming County, PASPOTTED LANTERNFLY GUIDE
Wyoming County, a small rural county in northeastern Pennsylvania centered on Tunkhannock along the North Branch Susquehanna River, confirmed spotted lanternfly presence in 2024. The county's scenic river valley, Endless Mountains terrain, and agricultural land face growing SLF pressure as populations spread north from Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. Interstate 81 and Route 6 serve as key movement corridors for both lanternfly and human traffic through this quiet rural county.
Pennsylvania is under a statewide spotted lanternfly quarantine. Moving plants, outdoor items, or vehicles out of quarantined counties requires inspection.
