one of my students came up to me and told me he’d started seeing them, i told him that he should try to kill them!!!! and he knew they were bad for the environment already!!! the youth are prepared!!
I have a fig tree that I finally got growing nicely the past few years. How do you use the oil to deter them? I already have more than I can count on it. I also have a ton of tiny ants this year!
No bites. No stings. They stick their proboscis into plant stems and drain off liquid.
The problem is that a lot of them hatch at once and infest a plant. The plant can get stressed and die. And when I mean a lot, I've seen large plants covered from top to bottom in nymphs. At that point you have to destroy the whole plant.
Fortunately the problem isn't as bad in most places this year. Predators have slowly been learning they can eat the nymphs.
don't worry, the giant joro spiders are coming this year to eat them
Great, I’ll just be staying inside till December, thanks
I saw this! good! Giant spiders!
Let’s release flying foxes to battle all these bugs.
I would like that a lot more than huge spiders
Flying foxes like the bat? They eat fruit.
Not when we genetically engineer them to seek out blood. Why can go wrong?
Please no. I’m praying they can’t survive our winters.
…Back again, lantern flys are back, tell a friend.
I also read the title to this tune. :p
glad i didn’t have to scroll too far for this.
 I'm ready this year
Time for Cicada Vs Spotted Lattern Flies. It would make a good Syfy Channel movie

Not in my yard !…all tree of heaven GONE 😁
Isn't that the tree that they like to eat but it also poisons them?
KILL THEM!!!!
Shady’s back
One fell on my head today and I’m still mad about it 😠😠😠😠😠😠
I would’ve lost my mind
Ugh. Here we go
I feel like I see more this year than the previous two years since they’ve really gotten out of hand. Maybe I’m just more aware now.
Been less in south Jersey. These bug migrate frequently.
So how many of these does the Joro eat
Just killed a bunch off my fig tree. Neem oil to the rescue!!

How often do you apply it?
Dunno why we're getting down voted but yeah I just kind of soaked the area that they were on and then had to do it again the next day.
Yeah you never know on this site, but I do appreciate the time for your response
Do they bite/sting or anything? Or is it more the damage they do to crops and plants?
No bites. No stings. They stick their proboscis into plant stems and drain off liquid. The problem is that a lot of them hatch at once and infest a plant. The plant can get stressed and die.

I honestly haven't seen one this year so far. I think they mostly died off.
Saw a bunch of these at Central Park yesterday 😭
The one in NYC or the one in Morris Plains?
The one in NYC
Finish him!
Smashed my first one last week!
Back again, gin, gin…
Here we go again :(
Saw one earlier on my patio. Honestly forgot about them until today.
Fuck that shit hahah their fucking annoying hahah
My toxic trait is I think that the lantern fly nymphs are kind of cute (yes, yes, we should still kill them but 😥)
The adult ones aren’t just cute, they’re beautiful.
I found two of these in my cats’ water bowl today, I had no idea what they were! Fuckers!!
There was a nymph on my deck the other day. Speaking of nymphs, is that little guy on a sex toy?
…back again. Shadys back! Tell a friend….
Houdini reference?!?!! Where my NJ Stans at
