Expert Response
Unfortunately Spotted Lanternfly is now established in most parts of Maryland. Here is our page on them:

They are expected to be a nuisance insect for a while but the good news is that in the areas where they first arrived their numbers have now plummeted.
The link above can tell you more and there is also a link to report your sighting to the Maryland Dept. of Agriculture if you like.
