In SNAP-Ed workshops, we’re always encouraging participants to “eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables”. One easy way to add lots of color to your plate is by taking advantage of fall’s most bountiful superfoods: root vegetables! They are full of antioxidants, packing an anti-inflammatory punch. Root vegetables are also good sources of potassium, folate, fiber, vitamins A, B, and C, manganese, and complex carbohydrates, promoting healthy skin, immunity, and sustained energy.

Spotted Lanternfly: Regional Monitoring
| |
|
CCE Steuben partners with Finger Lakes PRISM to monitor Spotted Lantern Fly (SLF) Early Detection Traps throughout our region. Temperatures have finally dropped low enough to wrap up the trapping season. SLF are still active until the first hard frost!
As of mid-October no positive SLF detections occurred across throughout the Finger Lakes PRISM network. Our network consists of over 200 traps! Check out the map of our coverage above.
Be on the lookout for SLF egg masses. They will lay them on any solid surfaces such as cars, trees, lawn furniture, and playsets. You can scrape and destroy the egg masses directly by smashing or burning or by placing them in doubled sealable bags or in alcohol. The fewer eggs masses that overwinter, the fewer SLF entering into the population next year!
For information on the wider NYS distribution and findings, check out the Integrated Pest Management's Spotted Lanternfly Distribution Map HERE.
