r in Washington Boro, Lancaster County, made a plea earlier this week to all those who have wrapped lanternfly tape around their trees as a way to catch them.Too many other animals are mistakenly getting attached to it and suffering injuries.
The post went on to point out that two bats recently ventured into the tape and had to be removed, “but not without heartbreak.
