NEW YORK — If you see something, stomp something.
New Yorkers can do their part in the battle against the spotted lanternflies that threaten New York’s plant life, which is getting a multimillion-dollar boost to help poison, trap and track the pesky insects, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
“When you see a bug like this, stamp it out,” he said at a news conference near Central Park. “It can’t hurt you. They don’t sting, they don’t bite, but they can spread.”
