The weekend brings Oktoberfest and Dia de los Muertos parties, cider festivals, a celebration of Native American heritage and after-hours museum events.
Important notice and call to action!Invasive species alert! An individual spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) has been detected by volunteers at our Trail 9 mini-oasis in Rock Creek Park. These brightly colored insects have been spreading across the eastern United States since their first detection in Pennsylvania in 2014.
If you think that you see a spotted lanternfly, first try to take a photograph, and then you can attempt to catch and squash the bug for verification. They are strong jumpers and will also fly to disperse, so it is best if you can quickly strike them from above without giving them a chance to escape.
You should report the sighting, including any photos you may have taken, through: survey123.arcgis.com/share/a5d56874c96e463c9d716ef9790b4990?&field:species=spotted_lanternfly&fie...
