If you live on the East Coast, you've probably heard of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly by now. You may have even seen some headlines around the holidays describing the infestation of Christmas Trees by this pest. But buyer beware - these stories are nothing more than a continuously perpetuated Christmyth! I created this video to bust this myth and divulge the true story of Spotted Lanternflies and Christmas trees, including the origins of this rumor.
