You know, I was never adamant about killing these creatures. In fact I often tried to let them live

I’ve done enough mushrooms to feel connected to nature too, but these things literally are invasive, kill our trees and ooze a sugary substance that enables the production of black mold.

No one forced you to contribute, but your moral superiority doesn’t help the environment lol

I recently stomped one as a tourist was marveling at it’s beauty. She scolded me in a foreign language but I just gave her stink eye.

what if lantern flies are actually here to save us, like a natural progression to actually help foliage survive something that is coming that is worse.

This is perfect for single ny'ers.

Someone cute asks, hey are you a spotted lanternfly?

Lanternfly: why, you tryna smash?

Rural Spider-Man has prevented many farm accidents with his sticky web. He just misses 98% of the incidents due to commute times and sells few comics, but If you’re within 100 feet of a silo you’re good.

I made my annual visit to NYC this year and ventured to staten island for the first time

They are not doing their part

It's the only place I saw one of them. And there were swarms

He slingshots, using his webs.
He's done it before in comics and he did it during civil war when they fought in the airfield.
He shoots webs on either side and stretches them and I'd imagine he'd just do that over and over really fast and gain intertia.

In the borough of parks, (when it's not forgotten) It's much harder to kill off the damn pests when they're breeding and hiding in the forests and other fenced off wild areas.

Even if you believe all creatures are equal - which they are not. Biodiversity has value in and of itself and invasive creatures threaten to reduce biodiversity by wreaking havoc with the ecosystem.

Mothman tends to appear is appear before a disaster. That disaster in question...that costume.

Still like it though.

I was also a squashed spotted lanternfly for Halloween... my costume was more DIY and less flashy but I'm still proud of it.

No??? I understand you advocate for creatures, as do i working in vetmed, but please dont spread flat out ignorance. Animals are not equal in any way shape or form to each other, thats a human social thing. There would be no ecosystem, everything would die and starve out with nothing to correct balance (as would you) which is apparently what you're advocating for.
