Cover Story: The tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a highly invasive tree species and is also the preferred host of an invasive insect, the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula). Currently, pest managers rely solely on ground surveys for detecting both trees of heaven and spotted lanternflies. This study utilized drones and optical sensors to detect trees of heaven throughout the year. The results of this study demonstrated that drones with RBG and thermal sensors could provide a near real-time and efficient method for the detection of trees of heaven. Such a tool has the potential to aid in the development of effective strategies for monitoring spotted lanternflies. View this paper
