Fyi, that's an invasive spotted lanternfly, which often infest the invasive Tree of Heaven.
I went and checked where this fellow had his natural habitat (so I wouldnt kill it if it had its habitat where I lived), it is invasive in everywhere but china apparently, so feel free to crush em if you are in europe or whatever.
In America.
But not everyone lives in the USA
I had a 30' tall tree of heaven with about a 1' diameter trunk fall over in a storm and land on my used school bus (aka a skoolie). The bus was completely undamaged, not even scratched anywhere. Those things grow really fast but they're very light, basically balsa wood.
So THAT'S the bug I've been seeing everywhere this year! I don't recall ever seeing them before, and suddenly there's a ton.
Yeah, stomp the shit out of those fuckers
And they jump like jerks. I don't know how else to describe it.
I suppose they must infest something else too? Or they wouldn't be a problem?
They also screw with grapevines, hops, and other trees: https://dec.ny.gov/nature/animals-fish-plants/spotted-lanternfly
Great PSA. Don't think I have them where I live but we do have Tree of Heaven

Mention of the fabled crack pipe apple!? :o
“Get down, turn around, go to town, boot scootin’ boogie.”
Slap the dog?
I added 4 more steps afterwards silly! Do I need to explain further?

- Suck the dick
