BOLO: Spotted Lanterfly Egg Masses

6 November 2020

We pre-recorded our conversation with Mark Sutphin from Virginia Cooperative Extension‘s Frederick County office via Zoom to chat about the Spotted Lanternfly (SLF). He told us about it’s history, the potential damage it could cause, and what to do if you suspect you have an egg mass or any variation of the pest. Spotted Lanternfly feeds on more than 70 plant species, including grapes, apples, stone fruits, hops and Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven), which is its preferred host. It poses a threat to Virginia’s peach, apple, grape and wine industries. It can also be a nuisance pest to homeowners when numbers are high. Below are links and photos that we discussed during the show.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Tuesday April 20, 2021. Tool time Tuesday, let's see what's in the toolbox today. For that matter, let's talk about the toolbox itself. The concept of having a single container to hold various tools has been around for centuries. Probably the most famous toolbox was created in the late 1800's by a mason, carpenter and piano maker named H. O. Studley. According to My Modern Met dot com the Studley Tool Chest is 20×40 inches when closed, 40×40 inches when open, and contains 300 tools within its carefully crafted mahogany rosewood, ebony, and mother-of-pearl case. Designed to hold his own tools, as well as a collection of 19th-century hand tools, Studley worked diligently to craft an ingenious system that would pack everything into the relatively small space. Flip up trays, hidden compartments, and multiple layers conceal everything perfectly. Each tool has its proper space, even clicking when pushed into place. As interesting as the piece itself is, it has a long history, which at one point saw it displayed in the Smithsonian. Listen to the podcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-april-20-2021/ ...
