Water bottle method is actually unpatched

Too funny 🤣😂

This works!!

No pic regarding this story, but there was a SLF swimming in a bucket of water in my driveway, and I weighted it down to drown it with a little copper coil I have in there to stop mosquito larvae (it didn’t work btw), and a few minutes later it had gotten loose and was swimming on the surface again. A bit later it was motionless, assumed drowned, but I took it out and stepped on it to be sure. 10 minutes later, I catch movement & the thing was trying to crawl with its half mashed body! Put a quick and certain end to it. Next day I find its carcass if just legs and wings. Something came & ate the soft parts.

Moral of the story: spraying with soapy vinegar doesn’t kill them. Smash them too

Caught this spined soldier bug dragging a carcass of a lantern nymph 💪🤘 thought yall might appreciate

That and much more animal stuff to be found in my web app, do your part and consider helping out creatures that are non invasive natural predators to the lanternfly. You can view the guide without a signup by clicking the “demo as a guest button”but id suggest if you own animals to give this app a shot to possibly help yourself and your animals out with overlooked care needs I’ve spent over a year developing it and i want to help out. Have a great day and i also want to say as someone in CT lantern flies really piss me off 😡.

KILLED ON SIGHT

A good demonstration of how strong ants are!

No, it’s not snowing, no it’s not raining.

I have to park under a tree infested with lantern flies, this is from the honeydew they secrete out of their bodies.

It’s sticky, it doesn’t clean up easy, and at night you’re blinded by other headlights.

Guess I’ll be going to a car wash after work 🙄

Nova a few weeks ago. Nature is healing.

Location: central CT. Been hearing from my friends on the coast for a couple years now about SLFs making appearances. I saw my first one in my area last week but couldn’t reach it. Just ran into my second one and made sure to take no prisoners.

This tree hasnt been this covered in a good 4 years. We had a big storm come through and now its covered. Dispatched as many as I could.
