Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive insect that was first detected in the United States in 2014 and feeds on a wide variety of plants, with economic impacts on the agricultural, ornamental, and timber industries. Part of what likely contributes to the success of L. delicatula in its invaded range is that it appears to be chemically defended by sequestering toxins from its host plant(s), which may deter predators in the introduced range. To determine the identity and behavior of North American predators that feed on spotted lanternfly, we performed a community science study in which we asked members of the public to contribute reports of animals feeding on spotted lanternfly through a Facebook page. The largest group of reported predators was arthropods followed by birds. Araneae was the arthropod order with the most reports and Phasianidae was the most frequently reported bird family. Using Pearson's χ2 tests, we also identified significant relationships between predator behavior and (1) taxonomic group of the predator, (2) L. delicatula life stage, and (3) host plant L. delicatula was observed on. These results can help to guide future research on predator host shifting to spotted lanternfly and potential for biocontrol as a management tactic.

斑点灯笼蝇（Lycorma delicatula）（半翅目：Fulgoridae）是一种入侵昆虫，于 2014 年在美国首次发现，以多种植物为食，对农业、观赏和木材工业产生经济影响。L. delicatula在其入侵范围内取得成功的部分原因可能是，它似乎通过从宿主植物中隔离毒素来进行化学防御，这可能会阻止引入范围内的捕食者。为了确定以斑点灯笼蝇为食的北美捕食者的身份和行为，我们进行了一项社区科学研究，其中我们要求公众通过 Facebook 页面贡献以斑点灯笼蝇为食的动物的报告。据报道，最大的捕食者群体是节肢动物，其次是鸟类。蜘蛛目是报道最多的节肢动物目，雉科是报道最多的鸟类科。使用 Pearson χ 2检验，我们还确定了捕食者行为与 (1) 捕食者的分类群、(2) L. delicatula生命阶段和 (3)观察到的寄主植物L. delicatula之间的显着关系。这些结果有助于指导未来关于捕食者宿主转向斑点灯笼蝇的研究以及生物防治作为管理策略的潜力。
