Spotted Lanternflies are The Ultimate Party Crashers

À propos de cette vidéo

They’re bright, bold — and can be bad news. Spotted lanternflies are invasive insects that spread by hitchhiking on almost anything we move. Once they arrive, they swarm trees and crops, draining sap and leaving behind sticky residue that can damage entire ecosystems. Find out how they got here, why they're so hard to stop, and whether scientists can find a way to shut the party down. ---+ For all things Earth Month, check out our playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNZYWyBGJ1F8ofFm4H9UTrHxqU8zngK4&si=29rBI7fxpV0OWoJY 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000676/spotted-lanternflies-are-the-ultimate-party-crashers ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: We Made The Stuff That Makes Fireflies Glow In A Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuJSmpxiNY Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpvc5ZX5B08 Why Mammals Gave Up On Laying Eggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilpmpCEDK8A ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!
