My girlfriend has murdered at least 1000 spotted lantern flies this season and regularly goes up to the roof of our building for some spree time. I read your piece aloud to her and she was so thrilled and complimentary. Keep it up!
A friend was horrified recently when a group of us all got our blood lust up over a lantern fly. "The government tells you to murder these things and you just go along with it???"
Like we are the only species that's allowed to be invasive. We roll into new continents and extinct a bunch of megafauna, then 12 thousand years later a pretty fly kills a few trees and we're all HEY THAT'S OUR JOB
Seriously, though, how long will it take the birds to learn to eat these things?
