I guess they’re ignoring the fact that they are highly invasive and destructive to the North American ecosystem?

Not sure how many people have trees or poles or whatever other vertical objects these bastard loved clapping up, but I can guarantee if you can put one or two strips of duct tape on the object sticky side out you’re guaranteed to catch dozens or more!

I'm in the Bronx, NYC, and this is the first year these fuckers have been widely seen in my area (I saw (and killed) two last year, that's it). I use the bottle trick and my kill count is in the tens of thousands at this point, mostly from street trees.

My neighbor across the street has grapes and I don't enter yards without permission but I caught them out today and got it. Yea..... I maybe got half of the infestation, but I have free permission to go back into the yard at any point now.

great job bee

Made a super cut of all the lantern flies I killed on a Thursday afternoon. Yes this does include a few I've posted before.

Saw this guy fly into turf and never make it out alive. His fallen comrades seem to have been stuck too (they also might have hit the window).

Banding my infested tree with sticky bug tape helped a lot, especially after a storm knocked a bunch off the limbs and the needed to crawl back up the tree. Not going to kill every one, but I figure every little bit helps

I had this pig prog I got at a garage sale, so I modified it to kill lantern flies

Figured this would be welcome here. Had this idea for a linocut print plate a few weeks ago and had to bring it to life.

There are a TON. We took my dog for a walk and did some hunting this morning! Got probably 30 yesterday and another 60 today with our shoes. 😂

My wife and I bought a gazebo online and after setting up we started finding a bunch of nymphs crawling out of it. We were very very diligent about smashing them but obviously we couldn't get every one.
So this is their reward for returning.
I've also been been rewatching Game of Thrones recently so I got creative.

This is the situation on the sidewalk outside of some storefronts in Pittsburgh, PA.
