To be honest, I’ve never really liked bugs. While many of us find insects to be intriguing and visually appealing, I believe we can all agree that some may be downright terrifying. And then there are the ones that are merely poisonous, killing out not just humans but also crops, animals, and plants. Whenever I see an insect, I usually simply ignore it. There has to be a valid cause for me to hurt any living thing; else, I will not do it. But things alter dramatically when we consider the lanternfly, scientifically known as Lycorma delicatula.
As soon as you see a lanternfly, you should probably get rid of it. Trust me when I say that I have personally dealt with these pesky insects in my own garden. Their vibrant colors and unique patterns made them nearly gorgeous as they swarmed around my beloved maple tree. These insects may not seem dangerous, but they are really rather damaging.

Lanternflies, what are they?
Despite its endearing moniker, the lanternfly is a major nuisance. Its 2014 sighting in Pennsylvania was the first American sighting of this Chinese import. It has been wreaking havoc on crops and ecosystems ever since, making its way across many states. The lanternfly is an issue for both commercial growers and those like myself who grow plants in our private gardens.
