invasive species

The first specimen of an invasive species of tick was found recently in Illinois.

Jeffrey Herod, with the Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR), said the fish have been plaguing area waterways for decades after being brought into the area to control algae in wastewater treatment facilities.

The first sighting of the invasive spotted lanternfly was confirmed earlier this month in northern Kentucky, according to University of Kentucky Entomologist Jonathan Larson.
