Since I've run into a few people who don't know what these are, this is one of the larval phases for the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), which are invasive and destructive. Feel free to squish these.

Pennsylvania:

It's Spotted Lanternfly hatching time! Check your garden plants.

There were none on the rose bushes on Friday. There were groups of twenty or so nymphs on those same bushes today. The majority of them were shaken off into a cup of soapy water, then chucked in the trash.

I don't like killing things, especially when they are so cute, but there are too many to leave to natural predators. I hope the spiders get any we missed.

Plants on which I’ve killed [} nymphs this week: Roses, viburnum, mock orange, black walnut, grapevines. Methinks I’m going to need a bigger supply of Safer Insecticidal Soap….

Catherine found nymphs all over the goldenrod and trumpet vine today — native plants that support hummingbirds and numerous native bees.

"The research team simulated spotted lanternfly spread dynamics using models that incorporated info on habitat suitability, life history, movement, and natural dispersal behaviors. 'We were quite surprised by the overwhelming effect of human-mediated dispersal in accurately predicting spread dynamics,' said Zach Ladin, supervisory wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service." eurekalert.org/news-releases/9

@rvaweather the worst part of the winter warmness is that all the non-native pest bugs will survive the winter. We need a good freeze now and then to kill them off. I'm thinking in particular but also this new coming down from
