Fungus could help stop spread of Spotted Lanternfly

Scientists may have found a way to stop the spread of the spotted lanternfly.

Researchers from Cornell University say two fungi native to Berks County have been able to infect and kill Spotted Lanternflies.

The fungus was found growing in Antietam Lake Park in Lower Alsace Township.

More research is needed but park officials say they are excited to see if this is the breakthrough they've been waiting for.
