The trees of downtown #Providence are alight with lanterns — lantern flies that is. They’re everywhere.

Bored? Go outside, find a tree, then flick ‘em and squish ‘em. There’s more than enough for everyone! Stop the bug! #lanternfly #bugs

We’re supposed to be killing any #lanternflies we see up here in #NewYork. Is it crazy I feel really bad doing so?

Our region is chock-full of spotted lanternflies. National Weather Service radar is detecting them yet again today. Stomp them!

After many sightings of egg masses and nymphs in all stages, this is the first adult #lanternfly I’ve seen in my garden.

So, I have a friend who is knowledgeable about all forest things, who advised me a few years back about the spotted lantern fly, an invasive species crawling up the USA East Coast decimating forests. I saw the black and white immature version in the Spring. Here's the mature insect, which I saw today. It's attractive, but also dangerous as hell. #Insect #insects #InsectsOfTheFediverse #lanternfly

"Beautiful Pest". Spotted #lanternfly late stage nymph (4th instar). Very pretty insect IMO. Also very harmful to hardwood trees and many crops. Authorities say "kill on sight". Clifton, Virginia, USA 24-JUN-2025 #insects #entomology #insectphotography #naturephotography #macrophotography
