## Caption

Students at New Jersey's Princeton High School are working diligently on new research to better understand and control invasive species found in the tri-state area, particularly the lanternfly and Italian wall lizard.

The spotted lanternfly originally came from China and poses quite a threat to agriculture, feeding on the sap of over 70 types of plants. According to Princeton High School teacher Mark Eastburn, these bugs made their first appearance in Pennsylvania years ago.

Experts say, "If you see it, squish it." State agricultural departments want you to report sightings. However, 11th-grade student Debolina Sen is aiming to do more than just individual stomping and is using fungus to help.

News 4's Linda Gaudino reports.
