Update on the Sherry Tenney situation!

For those new to the entire fiasco, here is a summary: Sherry Tenney summary.

Sherry Tenney has been officially been brought up on charges!  She is being taken to court by the state of Pennsylvania!  She is being brought up on two charges, both related to her selling and not giving refunds on top of not sending product.  For every instance she targeted a person over the age of 60 she will pay a fine of $3000, and under 60 a fine of $1000.

She has not yet been convicted, and is using a billboard lawyer to defend herself.  But, if she loses her court case, she is ordered to close down her businesses and cease all sales online through any means, and to not attempt to sell through others either.  She has a history, that she has already been forced to admit to in court documents, of selling through false names and through other people.  So that should be interesting.

Here is a link to the full court case PDF.  

Here’s to hoping this scam artist is shut down.

She is still currently attempting to sell product via her facebook page and Etsy, so it is important to still warn people about her.

📽 The Stepfather (2009)

Apparently this is a remake. I had no idea. It seemed like a low-budget film, although it’s budget was $20 million. I watched this movie because the trailer looked good but stupid, like one of those movies that are super corny but you still like them for some reason. Anyway, I ended liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I figured it would be super predictable. Although some parts were predictable, there were still quite a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. All in all, it’s not a bad movie. Even though the tagline is awful 😖

Sex/nudity: 3/10 (lots of kissing/making out, teenage girl seen a lot in a bikini)

Language: 2/10 (no f-words that I remember, some other stuff)

Violence: 6/10 (several fight scenes, death, murder, blood, attacks)

Overall rating: 5/10

[davidosu87]

This was the second time that I viewed this remake. I actually saw it before the original and it made me want to seek it out. This is barely a horror movie to me, as it is really more of a crime/thriller. I still enjoy the more psychological approach. Have you seen this version? What did you think?

Warning to all fiber artists

This is an updated and abbreviated post to warn all fiber artists about a scam artist that is currently fleecing the community.  I will keep this post pinned and updated with new information as it becomes available.

There is a scam artist in the fiber arts community named Sherry Tenney.  She sells fleece and wool on facebook and etsy.  She frequently does not send the fleece or wool she has been paid for, and plays the customer until the time window for a dispute is passed.  Afterward, if you continue to contact her, she will leave unhinged, violent, and threatening messages to you, doxx your name and address on her facebook live streams and posts, and still refuse to either send product or refund you.

A lot of complaints have also come forward about the product she does send out.  It is frequently moth and larvae infested, contains large amounts of shit, completely matted fleeces, or are trimmings that are completely unusable.  If you have received product from her you must quarantine it and freeze and bake it to destroy the moths and larvae.

She frequently tries to force smaller fleece sellers from small farms to go out of business to purchase their fleeces for cheap.  She, with the help of several associates and sock puppet accounts, will contact people in the groups of small sellers and offer them fleeces for cheaper and claim they will be of better quality.  She, and her associates and sock puppets, will then report the small farms public media repeatedly until they are taken down, thus preventing the farmer/shepard from being able to sell.  Several small farms have confirmed losses of nearly 60% in sales due to her actions. Some have unfortunately gone out of business due to her actions as well.

Sherry has also focused her scam on small, independent suppliers as well. She will orders goods and services and then, once received, she will refuse to pay for them, or dispute charges with PayPal and her credit card.  She will claim the items were never received, were not what she ordered, or were damaged.  She will then sell them to gain a full, one hundred percent profit on the goods.  If she contacts you to purchase goods, or to do labor on her farm, she will not pay you. Shearers on the east coast will not work with her or shear her sheep any longer because of her actions, and she depended on a young charity shearer to save her sheep from heat stroke this year.

Sherry Tenney is also currently trying to sell lambs on facebook (against facebook rules).  Her animals do not have official papers (she does not control breeding, her ewes and rams are mixed together at all times), she does not know the breed of most of her sheep (lots of random breeds together with unknown breeding has resulted in unknown crossbreeds and a large quantity of inbreeding), and her sheep/lambs do not have the proper veterinary certificates that would be required for transport.

If you have a Ravelry account, this has all been compiled for viewing here.  I do warn you, the videos are unnerving and I could barely stomach just reading the transcripts.  

Here is a link to a google form filled out by those who Sherry has stolen from, and how much she has stolen. It is currently at over $15,000+ USD.

Here is a link to a YouTube channel of Sherry’s livestreams.  I feel I should warn everyone that they can become violent and aggressive in nature, and several have been known to trigger survivors of domestic violence.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General has filed suit against her, and you can read the paperwork filed here.  If you have filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General they will keep you up to date.  If Sherry has stolen from you, please contact the Attorney General, even though they have already filed against Sherry, every victim coming forward helps.  The next court date is February 1st, 2024.

Here is a link to a video on YouTube that goes into detail about the charges filed by the Pennsylvania Attorney General against Sherry Tenney.  The judge has ruled that Sherry’s case is going forward, and has overruled Sherry’s lawyer’s attempt to get the charges thrown out.  Cases take time, but Sherry Tenney is being charged!

Sherry Tenney has once again filed for bankruptcy!  She filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  Here is the info:

[The Bureau of Consumer Protection is writing to update you concerning the consumer complaint you filed against Tenney’s Fiber Farm, LLC (the “Company”) and the above-referenced litigation.

As you may know, Sherry Tenney has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania under Case Number 1:23-bk-02752-HWV.

If you have not done so already, you may wish to file a proof of claim form in the bankruptcy. A proof of claim form may be filed either electronically or as a paper document. The Bankruptcy Court has set a deadline of February 12, 2024 for creditors to file proofs of claim. To assist you in that matter, we have enclosed a blank proof of claim form for you to complete and submit to the bankruptcy court.

Please send the completed proof of claim form to:

Sylvia H. Rambo US Courthouse U.S. Bankruptcy Court 1501 N. 6th St. Harrisburg, PA 17102

Please be advised, our office cannot offer you legal advice. You should consult with a private attorney to ensure that your rights are preserved in the bankruptcy proceedings.

Very truly yours,

Mia Paone Consumer Protection Agent]

If Sherry Tenney owes you money, please file immediately!

Sherry Tenney has made multiple claims that would indicate she is abusing and neglecting her animals.  Please do not contact authorities as that would give Sherry Tenney reason to sue someone for harassment.  That is the unfortunate state of laws in the US.  All of her chickens died of neglect last year, she would not bring them in at night and they were eaten by local wildlife, and she has claimed that a fairly large number of her flock has passed away last year and this year as well, over 10%.

Sherry has changed the name of her facebook group to ‘McCullough Farm primitives and country life’ and is claiming that her farm is the historic McCullough farm.  Her farm is not historic, the previous owner was named McCullough and it was owned by them since 2015, before that no McCullough’s owned it or were associated with it.  In fact, Sherry bought the farm in 2021, it is not a generational farm.  Her and her husband move states fairly frequently, they have no generational farm.  She has changed her group name, and has started randomly posting stolen food recipes with stolen photos, in an attempt to confuse people and attract new victims to her group.  Please warn others.  Yes, she frequently uses the word ‘primitive’ for many things.  She is that kind of person.

Sherry was selling in the FB group WAFA via pm, and was called out several times by customers who had received moth ridden fleece that was shorted weight.  After a month the head of WAFA finally stepped in and kicked Sherry and several of her associates from the group.  Unfortunately Brice Wonders of Spinaway Farms is still a member of the group, and he does work with Sherry.  So WAFA is still a group that has a warning about using, as they are incredibly slow to react and only when called out on social media are they willing to take action at this time.  WAFA has also contacted an attorney about the situation, though it is unknown what will be done.  

Sherry has been stealing photos from noteworthy people in the fiber arts community and linking back to them in an attempt to appear that they associate with her.  If you are well known in the fiber arts community please know that she will try to make it appear that you know her and approve of her business.  So please be warned, and please warn others who follow you if you know that Sherry is doing this with your name.

Sherry is currently bragging about luring black bears to her farm to threaten her sheep by urinating, very frequently, on all of the fences that surround her animals.  Human urine will attract black bears, as will animals left in the open all night that a bear would have easy access to.  She enjoys luring them to the farm, and then brags about threatening them and shooting at them with her guns.

It cannot be stressed enough: DO NOT APPROACH THIS WOMAN IN PUBLIC OR AT PUBLIC EVENTS!  She has threatened to shoot and kill people in several posts and rants, and brags about the amount of guns she has.  Within recent days she has bragged about owning a glock, an AK, multiple shotguns, and frequently has them on her person.  A shotgun has been spotted improperly and dangerous stored in the background of her photos.  She is to be considered armed and dangerous at all times.  Do not drive by her farm if you live in her area, do not sign up to attend a class if she holds one in person on her farm.  She is a mentally unhinged and violent woman.  She should not be approached in person at all costs.  No one wants to see anyone hurt because of this.  Especially now that her scam is failing and legal authorities have filed suit.

Update in the Sherry Tenney case!

If you don't know who the scam artist Sherry Tenney is, here is my pinned post about her.

[The Bureau of Consumer Protection is writing to update you concerning the consumer complaint you filed against Tenney’s Fiber Farm, LLC (the “Company”) and the above-referenced litigation.

As you may know, Sherry Tenney has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania under Case Number 1:23-bk-02752-HWV.

Sherry Tenney's next court date is February 1st, 2024. So she could be trying to get ahead of a verdict. I have a feeling, given everything that's come out in discovery, that the judge is going to throw the book at her. She also owes nearly $80k in legal fees at this point, and with no income and no job, she's probably stiffing her lawyer too.

And, as always, a trapped wolf can still bite, so please avoid her at all costs. She is still bragging about being armed and dangerous.

[kaiyonohime]

A summary of who Sherry Tenney is and why all in the fiber arts community should be warned against her can be found here.

Please notice on the linked post, I have updated to include the names of people who are helping her with her scam.  If you see any of those people active in fiber arts groups, please be aware and warn others about them.  They are scam artists as well, and have helped Sherry Tenney harm other small businesses.

The judge has released his findings, and all of Sherry’s arguments that the state of Pennsylvania can’t charge her because she operated her scam online and not in person have been overruled.  The case brought by the Pennsylvania Attorney General against Sherry Tenney will proceed.

Here is a link to a Google drive with all of the legal documents that have been filed by both Sherry Tenney and the court so far.  The file ruling that the case will continue is 2023.06.29 Order of the Court.

As a reminder, the AG is seeking to fine her $3000 USD for every victim over the age of 60, $1000 USD for every victim under the age of 60, and to ban her, or anyone working with her, from selling online permanently. 

If you have been a victim of Sherry Tenney’s scam, the Pennsylvania Attorney General is still requesting complaints.  You can file a complaint here. Please encourage any victims that you know to file as well.  The more that come forward with evidence against her the better.  Especially if you have chat logs that include information linking her to Suzanne Smith Collier.

The list of people associated with the scam artist Sherry Tenney, and are actively helping her with her scam:

Suzanne Smith Collier

Cynthia Karitianos Tilker

Caroline Moss

Roberta Van Harn

Adrienne Lehman

Jeannine Talley-Cramer

Please be warned that, upon viewing some of their profiles online, they are as just as willingly capable of violence as Sherry Tenney has threatened in the past.  Do not confront them in person.  Warn others, and avoid them at all costs.

[kaiyonohime]

Sherry Tenney has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy!

If you are unfamiliar with scam artist Sherry Tenney, I have pinned a post here.

A former bankruptcy paralegal has provided some helpful advice:

If you are a creditor (i.e., if Sherry owes you money), do not count on your claim with the AG’s office if you filed one. You need to file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case to have any chance at recovery. They will likely ask for supporting documentation, which would be whatever documentation you have that she owes you money.

Also - please note the deadline for filing is February 12th. That’s a little less than 2 weeks away. If you are mailing in the claim form, stay aware of the mailing times - it has to arrive at the Clerk’s office by the 12th, not be postmarked by the 12th. If you wait until next week to file, you may be better off doing that electronically to be 100% sure your claim gets in by the deadline.

You can electronically file using PACER. You will need to make an account as a creditor first. The form is relatively easy to fill out online. As with the paper filing, you will be asked to upload supporting documentation of your claim. If you get stuck or have questions, the clerk’s office is your best bet for help.

In a Chapter 13, unsecured creditors usually are paid pennies on the dollar, although I have seen payments of up to 25%-50% in a few cases. Unsecured creditors are also paid last, so it may be up to four or five years before payment, depending on her plan and whether she is able to stick to it.

Please help signal boost the message as the filing deadline for creditors is in two weeks! Sherry owes more than $100k USD to people.

And, honestly, if this makes her need to sell her animals to get them away from her abuse, all the better.

This video goes over the case the Pennsylvania Attorney General has filed against the scam artist Sherry Tenney, and her attorney’s response.  In 2.5 hours.  Yes, it’s not short, yes it wanders a little, but there it is in video form.  

And yes, she uses an old post of mine, not the pinned post that I keep updated, as a heavy source.  I’m not affiliated with her in any way, nor did I know about the video until it was linked on Ravelry, otherwise I would have asked her to use the updated pinned post rather than an out of date old one.

Link to the pinned post.

A little something from the video: Crabbs and Crabbs is a real law firm, but they’re divorce attorneys.  The thought is that they represented either Sherry or her husband Jim in one of their past divorces, and that’s why she names them as representing her so often.  I do not know if Crabbs and Crabbs has ever been made known, or responded, to her using their law firm to threaten people into silence.

Yes, she threatened to sue me in a video as well.  No, I have no been sued.  I have never been served paperwork from Sherry Tenney at all.  Neither she, nor anyone representing her or working with her, has ever even attempted to contact me.

The oral argument will be held on May 4th at 10 am at Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, courtroom one.  You cannot watch online, but if you live in the area you can attend freely.

Link to the summary of the Sherry Tenney situation.

Link to the charges filed by the Pennsylvania Attorney General against Sherry Tenney.

Unfortunately there is a new update to the update about the scam artist Sherry Tenney.

Sherry Tenney claims her farm is called the ‘Historic McCullough Farm’.  Her farm is not historic.  The farm was built after the year 2000, and she bought the farm in 2021.

Needless to say her farm is not considered historic by anyone but herself. 

She has also now changed her profile as the owner of the McCullough Farm FB group to list herself as both disabled and Native American.

Sherry Tenney is not disabled.

Sherry Tenney is not Native American.

Sherry Tenney has spent the last year bragging about how she is not disabled, and has even gone so far as to compare disabled people and the mentally ill as demons sent to Earth from hell.  Unfortunately I’m not making that up.  This came up when she claimed she was attacked by literal demons at a gas station and was forced to defend herself.  

Sherry Tenney has also spent years dog whistling that she is discriminated against for having Dutch heritage.  Sherry Tenney is an upper middle class white woman that grew up upper middle class.  She has gone on, at length, about how white European her ancestry is, while also claiming that is why she is being discriminated against.

It’s a shame Sherry Tenney has now decided to switch to these tactics out of desperation to continue her scam, even as charges are brought against her.  But that is a decision she has chosen to make.  She is now trying everything to lure in victims.

She has now also stated that she is replacing the chickens that died under her lack of care last year with four hundred new chickens.  To go with the two hundred sheep she claims to have (no photograph of more than forty sheep has ever been provided).  On a three acre farm.

Apparently her farm is also the TARDIS.

A Sherry Tenney and WAFA warning update

If you are unaware of who Sherry Tenney is, I have pinned a post here.  But, in short, Sherry Tenney is a scam artist in the fiber arts community that takes money and almost never ships out product.  What little she does ship out is covered in feces and infested with various forms of vermin, including moths and ants.  Her, and several accomplices, also target and damage and destroy small fiber sellers online.  She is also extremely aggressive and has threatened to both shoot and sue people, and brags about the guns she has.  She is under investigation from the Pennsylvania Attorney General.  She has stolen, to date, $15,000+ USD from customers.  This is not counting the amount of money she has stolen from suppliers.

Lawsuit update: to the surprise of no one, no, I have still not been served any papers even though she has threatened to sue me personally.  I guess that’s what happens when you ask a chicken to do everything for you.  Shit just doesn’t get done.

Sherry Tenney, currently known as Sherry Tennay, has renamed her main FaceBook sellers group from ‘Tenneys Fibers and raw wool buyers group’ to ‘Wool and Fiber artists supplies buyers group and silks too’.  She has done this in an attempt to draw in new victims that may mistake her group for the WAFA group on FaceBook.  WAFA stands for ‘Wool and Fiber Artists’.  

Unfortunately it’s a little more underhanded than that.  One of the main parts of Sherry’s scheme over the years has been to purposefully destroy other small fiber sellers.  What she, and multiple accomplices, will do is infiltrate a group on FaceBook, message buyers there telling them Sherry will sell better for much cheaper, and then continuously report the group until it is removed from FaceBook.  Sellers have reported 60%+ losses from Sherry’s actions, with some going out of business as well.

Sherry is not only now targeting WAFA and WAFA members, at least one WAFA admin is one of Sherry’s accomplices and is working from the inside to help destroy WAFA and financially harm sellers that use WAFA.  WAFA is a compromised group that is being targeted the same way Sherry destroyed other groups.

If you use WAFA, or know anyone that does, please pass on this warning.  Any seller that they see or are approached by should be researched by looking them up on the Fiber Transaction Board.  The FTB has banned Sherry, and all of her socks and accomplices, from the FTB after several incidents she caused.  Sherry has enough red flags to her name on the FTB to put a communist march in China to shame.

So, as always, please be careful who you buy fiber from online.  Unfortunately there are scam artists out there that only aim to harm the fiber arts community.  And, of course, please avoid any physical contact with Sherry.  She is to be considered armed and dangerous at all times.  She is currently threatening to attend Rhinebeck Wool Festival.  If you see her at the festival avoid her at all costs, just turn and walk away.  She is dangerous, do not confront her.

[kaiyonohime]

Tour de fleece day 12!  Getting bigger!  I may actually have enough to knit something at the end of all this!  And today is the day a mentally unstable scam artist in Pennsylvania threatened to sue, it’s been the best day ever!

Not afraid of getting sued by Sherry Tenney, she threatens to sue everyone.  To date all she’s done is filed for bankruptcy and is currently getting investigated by the Pennsylvania Attorney General.  So, quite honestly, all I think she’ll do is snap and stamp her feet like a pissed off two year old because I told the truth about what she did, and she doesn’t like people knowing that she’s a scam artist.

How did Sherry Tenney’s scam finally start coming to light?  She refused to refund a customer $65 USD after refusing to ship the fiber they had bought, and told them that it “...check yourself and realize it is 63 dollars, not your life.”  And after the amount of times Sherry Tenney has boasted about her guns, about she always has her guns on her, and how she’s used her guns against people, that threat is getting taken seriously.

So yeah, this all started because Sherry Tenney is a thief, and people started posting evidence online and have gotten her in trouble legally.  And now her income has dried up, and she’s selling moldy, insect infested scraps from her barn, and her sheep are suffering because of her behavior.  I hope she gets shut down and charged by legal authorities soon!

Sherry Tenney: the bitch that just won’t stop

So update to the Sherry Tenney situation.  If you don’t know who Sherry Tenney is, I have a pinned post here.  But, in summary, she is a scam artist operating in Pennsylvania that has currently stolen USD $15,000+ from people, is under investigation by the Pennsylvania Attorney General, has neglected animals to death, owns guns and claims to own even more than she has shown in photos, has threatened to shoot and kill people, and will occasionally send shit covered and moth infested fiber to customers.  

In short, Sherry Tenney is a piece of shit.  Of the lowest form.  I wouldn’t spare piss to save her from a fire.

The current situation: the Attorney General has started serving her with paperwork, so Sherry is taking revenge.

You see, when people would join Sherry’s business facebook group, Sherry would require everyone to friend her.  And then she would dig through their entire facebook history and find information on them.  Everything from their children’s names and birthdays to where they work.  Every.  Single.  Detail.

And what would she do with those details?  She would save them in files to be used later as a just in case.  You see, if anyone from the group was ever caught talking badly about her, or reported her scam to authorities, she would use those details.  Just how cult leaders use what they know to control people.

Sherry Tenney is currently using those details now.  

She is calling up people’s employers and trying to get them fired.  She is claiming they are drug addicts and describing their behavior to their employers.  She is demanding that her followers call and report these people, and report them to CPS to get their children taken away!  Just like a violent, aggressive cult leader would.

Yes, Sherry is now knowingly filing false reports with authorities to try to damage the lives of anyone that has ever reported her or left her group.  And because people have so much information on facebook these days, she has a lot of ammo to use for her illegal activities.

So please, be warned about Sherry Tenney.  She is a woman that brags about being armed with multiple guns and willing to shoot people at all times.  She has shown that she is willing to file false reports against people.  She loves to talk about the sexuality of her sheep and how all the rams are attracted to her and want to fuck her.  She enjoys bragging about walking around pissing on all the fences on her property with the excuse that it’s to ‘ward off bears’.  

There is something very, very wrong with Sherry Tenney.  And now that she is in a corner, she is reacting violently and unstably.  So please, pass the word and warn others.  She is still operating her scam on facebook, she is still friending people and collecting their information to use against them if they turn on her, and she is still threatening to shoot and kill people.

Stay away from Sherry Tenney at all costs.  She is dangerous.

This warning is especially for those who may attend Rhinebeck Wool Festival, as she is still threatening to attend as well.

Hey! I'm a journalist trying to write about the yarn scammer you posted about not long ago. My Twitter is jesslucaswrites, if you'd be up for an interview? Contact details on my profile there. Let me know!

First of all, Sherry Tenney isn't a yarn scammer, she's a fleece and fiber scammer. She actually rarely 'sells' yarn, and specializes more in fleece and fibers. So that's a very, very important detail. There have been yarn scammers in the fiber arts world before as well though.

Secondly, I wouldn't be comfortable giving and interview because, while I have been following this entire fiasco since January (it's been documented as starting many years before January), I personally haven't been affected by it. So I'm just another person watching the entire fiasco come to line, following along, and taking notes. A better person to interview would be one of the victims, to be honest. User Subtextsays on Ravelry is the one that brought this to everyone's attention, and they are a victim of Sherry Tenney as well.

So, honestly, I wouldn't be able to really tell you much more than what you have read in the Ravelry thread and the notes.

And thirdly, I just don't use twitter. And I'm most definitely not signing up for an account there. Also, there's an unfortunate history of journalists writing article about several similar incidents in the fiber arts world siding with the scammer (so blatantly that I doubt journalistic integrity was concept they knew), so I know that many will tend to avoid interviews or being involved. We don't want Sherry Tenney garnering sympathy because she's only stolen tens of thousands of dollars, and aren't we internet users means for trying to shut down her scam. I know that sounds dumb, but that's generally how articles about these situations get written.

I will happily provide you with links to the Ravely pages about the subject to read, they have uploaded all of their resources, including screenshots, for everyone to see as well. You will have to register for a Ravelry account, but it's completely free.

And while I would definitely say you should also interview Sherry Tenney for this article, she is on FaceBook constantly, I would warn against meeting her in person for an interview. She has, unfortunately, threatened to shoot people over her scam being exposed, and she should be considered dangerous.

I hope this helps you with your article. And no, though Sherry has personally said she was going to sue me because of what I have posted on Tumblr, she has never sued me. She has never even reached out and made contact with me. She has threatened for the last six months to sue a great many people, and not a single one has ever received any paperwork in the mail.

Warning to fiber buyers

Update post on Sherry Tenney.  She’s still selling infested fiber and fleeces and has scammed people out of tens of thousands of dollars, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General is still investigating her.  The wheels of justice are slow, unfortunately.

This post is a warning about shops that use her as a source, knowing that her fleece and fiber is infested, and those that support and help her in her illegal activities.  Any person and or shop listed here is to be considered as having possibly infested product, and should be avoided.  They all also knowingly support Sherry’s illegal activities, or actively help her in her illegal activities, and should be avoided.

ExpressionsInFiber, Etsy shop run by Elizabeth Washburn

Finer than Frog’s Hair, FB group run by Suzanne Smith Collier

FinerThanFroggyHair, Etsy shop run by Suzanne Smith Collier

Spinaway Farm, Brice Wonders

Sheeps and Me, run by Tuesday Rose.  A fair circuit seller, not online

All of these shops and sellers are confirmed to either use Sherry Tenney’s moth infested fleece and fiber to resell to others, or actively support Sherry Tenney in her illegal activities.  Please avoid them, for the safety of your money and your stash.

Sherry Tenney also stores all of her fleece and fiber out in the open on her porch, outside, and under a tarp in her barn, so moths are not the only insect infestation she currently has.  There is a high risk of lanternflies, an invasive species that will do high amounts of environmental harm to an area.
