Area of Science:

Entomology
Invasive Species Management
Pest Control Technology

Background:

The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a significant invasive pest requiring improved management strategies.
Current methods for controlling L. delicatula egg masses are inadequate, necessitating the development of efficient and tree-safe trapping solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and optimize a novel lampshade trap for monitoring and controlling L. delicatula egg masses.
To enhance trap efficiency, tree-friendliness, and reusability through material and design modifications.

Main Methods:

Two phases of field experiments were conducted to test different materials, colors, and aperture designs for the lampshade traps.
Trap performance was evaluated based on the number of collected egg masses and egg mass density.

Main Results:

A 2-mm thick felt cloth trap collected the most egg masses (1790 in 2024).
Replacing fiber batting with expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam improved trap attractiveness and prevented mold.
The black half-opening design yielded the highest egg mass density (148.63 per m² in 2025), with 3996 egg masses collected overall.
Installation improvements enhanced tree-friendliness and reusability.

Conclusions:

The optimized felt cloth lampshade trap is a cost-effective, practical, and environmentally friendly tool for L. delicatula management.
The trap significantly increases egg mass collection rates, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs.
Recommendations include using black or brown felt and selecting aperture types based on wind conditions.
