We need your help creating the SLFIA!

Sign up to collect Spotted Lanternflies at the link below

Kits for 2025 collection are now available to order on our new Square site. Visit this link to order yours! slfia.square.site

To help cover the costs of kits, we are charging $10 for kit shipping and returns this year. The $10 cost of shipping includes a return label so you can mail your samples back to us. Returning participants will not have to pay for shipping, so once you’ve participated you’ll get free shipping in subsequent years! You can also pick up from and return your kit to Saint Vincent College for free (this option is available on our Square site). Once you have received your kit, we advise that participants read all information provided in the kits. Lastly, make fun of the days you take to collect samples!

*This is an example of the tube of propylene glycol you will receive. Spotted Lanternflies will be collected in the tube and returned through the mail with a provided return label*

For our returning collectors:

If you have collected for us in previous years and turned in your samples to us, you will receive a coupon code via email to get free shipping and a free return shipping label! Be on the lookout for a coupon code in your email inbox!
