Does anyone know how these invasive species native to China, Russia and Korea wind up in an American pond? If I'm not mistaken, the lanternfly hitched a ride from Asia on some gravel, or so I was told.

Probably imported as an exotic species for the pet trade. That is how most invasive species arrive.
