Beautiful menace

Posted

I’d like to alert readers that the above photo is what spotted lanternflies look like now before they make the transition to winged insects. I was fascinated by this one crawling up our screen house until I checked its description and found it is a lanternfly. Don’t let their beautiful colors and markings fool you. Like the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” they are destroying trees in our area and should be killed.
