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

Lol I went out last night and I must say, NYers are creative as fuck. I've seen so many amazing get-ups....and way too many Spidermen
Adoxxy t1_iuejthu wrote
thats nice that you are proud of letting invasive creatures multiplying by the thousands live so our native animals can die out, what a kind soul you are.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
