Schumer stood at Lowe’s Home Improvement, where many fresh-cut Christmas trees from outside of New York make a yearly big-box debut. Senator Schumer both sounded the alarm and revealed that an invasive bug, the Spotted Lanternfly, could actually be hitching an easy ride to Long Island—on your fresh-cut Christmas tree. The bug threatens Long Island’s leafy neighborhoods and some of the places families love, including apple farms and vineyards.\r\n“If there is one thing we know about Long Island it is that this place is made even more beautiful by big and attractive trees, as well as pristine farms and wineries. That’s why I am calling federal attention to an insect that if gone unchecked could sink its teeth into the leafy neighborhoods, job-creating farms and nearby destinations we love, like vineyards,”said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “The Spotted Lantern fly may sound like a cute name, but it is no lovebug. The spotted lanternfly has already moved into neighboring states like Pennsylvania and New Jersey—the exact places some of our big-box Christmas trees hail.”"}}
