What would spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) life history look like if it established in Stockton, CA?

Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula White [Hemiptera: Fulgoridae]) is an invasive insect from Asia that was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014 and has since spread to 16 other states. Some of the spread is natural as the insect disperses to new areas adjacent to where it is already established, but every year there are new regulatory incidents that are not adjacent to current infestations. This insect is readily spread by human-aided means. These long-distance movements typically occur when eggs are laid on vehicles (trains, cars, etc.) or materials that are stored outdoors and moved. Spotted lanternfly has had major impacts on PA grape vines and there is a great concern that it will eventually be introduced to California where grapes are a major crop. Previous work on the thermal responses of spotted lanternfly have suggested that it may experience mortality and adverse effects if exposed to temperatures over 35°C for extended periods of time. This study mimicked the climate conditions in Stockton, CA during 2022 to estimate the effects of a warmer, drier climate (where grapes are grown) on spotted lanternfly. The results of this study should help to predict the risk of establishment and life history of spotted lanternfly in these warmer climates where it has not yet invaded.
