10 total egg casings, 300+ caught today, 6500+ total… no real impact on the population where I’ve been working.
Photo is from yesterday when I caught 1000+ in a single day so I don’t dox myself by showing the store brand recyclables I stored them in today.… and the meme I spent all night thinking of because I caught a thousand (one thousing lanterm flied ).
The photos are: 800+ bug haul, two egg casings in the crevices of bark, one uncovered row of eggs, the eggs on the end of a stick (they look almost like sesame seeds—juicy but flat), SLF vs. harvestman.
Since another person was kind enough to share their spotted lantern fly cape in my DMs, I figured I would share another kind of art :)
I am still collecting in one place that is less than a square mile. Still no signs of slowing.
second one I’ve seen, first one I’ve dispatched.
Would’ve never noticed it, but it fell off a trailer while I was walking my dog and disoriented itself long enough to be impaled. Now it’s a warning to the others.
