Identify one problem created by the introduction of the invasive species. Provide a solution for the removal of the invasive species. Explain your solution for the removal of the native species, economy and/or social impacts? How long do you think it will take to return to the original biodiversity of the ecosystem based on your solution and why?

My organism is the Lanternfly. It is originally from China. Lanternflies are an
invasive species that made their way to America through shipment (of stone
specifically). The species would then lay their eggs on cars and cargo; further
growing their population rapidly. One of the main problems with lanternflies is
that they no longer have natural predators, and interestingly enough, they didn't
have many in their natural habitat either. With no predators, lanternflies have
been wreaking havoc on trees; sucking sap from the trees and growing infectious
fungi on the trees. They are a problem in Pennsylvania, averaging about $300
million in damages and 2000+ lost jobs annually. From damaging thousands of
trees and affecting tree-dwelling species to causing millions of dollars in damages,
Lanternflies are truly an invasive species.
