πΆ Some dogs have pretty unusual jobs. Like sniffing out bug eggs.
Researchers at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center trained scent detection dogs to find spotted lanternfly egg masses, with support from the USDA π¬
That's a big deal, because those egg masses are flat, mud colored and easy to miss on a tree trunk or a deck. In early testing the dogs found live eggs with up to 95% accuracy π
And right now is go time. Spotted lanternflies lay their eggs from September to November π
Next time your pup stops dead on a walk to investigate one very important patch of grass, just know that nose is a serious piece of equipment π
