Now I am sitting outside on a shady bench battling lanternflies. I found that you have to step on them from directly behind. But you still have to be very quick or they will hop away. Any other angle and they will hop away instantly. I think they have the upper hand though. I just read a news story where one was found mounted on an Iowa student’s science project, and up until then they didn’t think they were west of pa. They are a very destructive invasive species. They keep landing on me. They might be on to the fact that I try to kill every one I see. Alfred Hitchcock would have a field day if he were still alive! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you take a pic feel free to murder everyone of the things you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already seen vines totally covered in mesh. But most aren’t. And I may have been hasty with my smoosh them from behind theory. I have gotten some from other angles including head on. The key is quickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Harleys in general, and loud anything even worse. This brings me to idling laws, which are needed in loud cities like NYC. At my last apartment, restaurant and wholesale food delivery trucks would idle just outside the window with really loud compressors going full blast, no covers on them, of course. It sucked, and they would often stay there for 20 minutes just drowning out conversations or the tv or whatever the whole time. The city never enforced those laws. They are wasteful as hell, which I don't care about so much, but it is another pollution source and the noise pollution is terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted September 14, 2021 Share #15 Posted September 14, 2021 We have a no idle law here. People will let their car idle for 30 minutes or more in our garage. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted September 14, 2021 Share #16 Posted September 14, 2021 Along with idling laws, we need to teach lanternflies to devour Fast food and coffee drive thrus! HUGE waste of time and fuel! Get out of your car and WALK a few feet, burn of 1/1000% of that Big Mac! Lanternflies have one good jump in them, then it takes time for them to reload. Swing at them, make them jump, then squish 'em while they can't move as quick. I also found they are easy to hit first time with a chainsaw. Maybe the noise freezes them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted September 15, 2021 Share #27 Posted September 15, 2021 It’s a thing to leave your truck running for days at a time around here. Primarily it’s done by high school kids who whose parents bought them Carolina squat trucks with rubber band tires. It’s been the trend since the cops started cracking down on rolling coal.

Lanternflies been reported in MD along the MD-PA border, they have supposedly decimated PA's wine grape crops and my cousin north of Philadelphia says they've got them. Walking Jake on a woodsy trail, I met with an entomologist who was studying oakworms and he informed me of lanternflies, for which he was on the lookout in Central Maryland. He predicted they're going to become a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserted because it was pretty darn hot, but two SUVs pull up and no one gets oot! There are a couple of benches in the shade they could have chilled at. Who goes to the park to sit in their vehicle?
