For context, this issue is pretty prevalent in the US states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey where the bugs are killing trees and ruining the ecosystem.
The prediction that lantern flies would enter the food chain in Pennsylvania has come true. Didn't see a single one this year, and have read that birds and praying mantis have figured out they are edible.
It just doesn't seem like anything is effective without a more organized prevention. Every years there's so many more. Wouldn't be surprised to see clouds of them this year in PA
Bro, PA, and NJ were drowning in them... we were seeing hundreds of them at any given time near the beaches here... it's so ridiculous, and nothing is super effective because we do need a more organized effort.
Yeah we get tons of em, especially in hot spots here in Philly. There was a reporting program (I think with UPenn) and there are certain trees that you can cut down since they lay and feed on specific trees. I'd never even heard of a "Tree-of-Heaven" before lanternflies, though other types of agriculture are affected unfortunately.
I'm from the US and even I don't know what's going on. I've never seen or heard of these bugs in my life. The US is a big country and just assuming everyone would know the context is just wrong.
@fanime1 actually, these bugs will eventually hit every state because they migrate... but it started as one state and its now the entire Northeast corridor and heading Midwest. There's also an invasive spider in North, South Carolina and Georgia, my thoughts were maybe that's it's native Predator from Southeast Asia but I'd rather not get the spider.... 😭😬
@@ndiesel11 I loathe lanternflies! The way they just stupidly fly at you, in your face, cling to your clothes as you get on the bus, bombard entire structures so it's more lanternfly than structure. I can handle spiders. Just knowing they eat the other annoying bugs for breakfast gets them a pass from me🕷
Though if you live in the contiguous United States, you soon will, as their territory grows every summer. Time to pray for a God flood or something! haha
Invasive, they damage native plants, eat native food, have no native predators. Their populations grow unchecked, damaging the ecosystem and destroying native insect populations. It’s such a big deal, as a trucker, I have to inspect and send in a report every time I load, unload, or rest in parts of Pa and Nj. The fear is, the same environment they’re currently thriving in, exist in several parts of our country, and we don’t want them to invade those regions as well. Although it’s beginning to seem unstoppable
Good news populations of spotted lantern flies are collapsing at the point of origin in Pennsylvania. They are now considered a food option by local wildlife and are back in the food chain.
East Coast is drowning in them, especially PA and NJ, but I was seeing reports of Ohio starting to have issues last summer... I'm not gonna lie it's better than having spiders like North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia...
Yup! They were an absolute menace last year during the summer in NYC. When I say they were everywhere, I’m not exaggerating. Everyone went out of their way to end them.
They must be from NY and/or DC. Reporters in those areas are so self-centered, they don't think about other part of the country - or other countries - where something like this doesn't exist.
Is it a problem that I spotted this bug outside my window in the stage before adult In New Brunswick Canada Near the sea of Fredericton Do they exist in Canada?
Unfortunately, if your seeing them, it's already too late. And their lack of any natural predator just means the Americas as a whole are their home now.
One time at the pool there was a huge line so my mom wanted to pass the time by doing a photoshoot in a nearby park and I saw these nymphs and I cried so much bc I was scared of them since they kept jumping everywhere
@@jeanrodriguez2078 idk if these bugs are in my country but there are otger animals actually big ones like birds and stuff that are toxic to the environment lol
@@bejoyasmr8052 that's the bad thing. For example, somebody took an invasive insect, not this bug from the video, to Florida. The invasive insect started to reproduce and destroy a lot of oranges. This caused trouble for businesses and prices.
I haul equipment from pa/nj pretty often. Every time I have to do an inspection on my truck, trailer and load for these things. It’s scary to think all it takes is a couple of them latching onto a vehicle and traveling over to idk, say, California or Oregon. Washington state. Other environments where they can thrive with little to no natural predators. It’s hard to find a predator for them too. They do have predators, but when you introduce them to the region that’s infested, they tend to prefer native prey over the invasive one.

That smack did 800% critical damage to the bug.

Birds have figured out that lanternflies aren’t poisonous and have started eating them… so, that’s nature’s way of balancing the situation.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate this chad bird
They're back. Again.
I saw a bunch of adults today in Western PA. 😭😭😭

Invasive species from Southeast Asia

@@BoyProdigyX A God flood? They'd just end up catching a ride on an ark.
They already took over my neighborhood. They engulfed my tree last summer and I’m now seeing a bunch of baby ones this summer
Thanks for the heads up.
Good news populations of spotted lantern flies are collapsing at the point of origin in Pennsylvania.

don't sticky traps also catch native insects? and other small creatures like reptiles, birds and mammals can get caught in them too.
On the bright side, dead lantern flies=more food for the birds.
Me when I see one:
Choose your weapon:
Shoe: 1000000 damage
I have never seen this insect before in my life. I'm in Utah
Lucky!! They are ALL OVER PA. It's so sick I'm about to move!
Look it up. They cover entire buildings.
I actually Hate these bugs and i don't hate usually .
the new Starship Troopers looks lit.
Game over for that fly
Oml it was the smack fir me 😂😂😂😂😂

@@mangos2888 the laternflies keep expanding their land. it might exist at some point
Im in the UK, what's up with these little guys?
I'm in the US and have no idea. Never seen or heard of them.
They infest our trees. It's an invasive species, here in NY it's gotten really bad. I see 1 or 2 every day.
Where I live, every summer they are EVERYWHERE
I saw these jokers in Maryland for the first time a few weeks ago. Oh they’ve got to be dealt with.
I’m gonna turn them into jewelry

Yeah. Remove them. They're not good for plants

It's wild how mad people get over videos they could just not watch.
hopefully they'll disapear like stinkbugs in a year or two, hate these things with a passion
Why the hate? What they did to you?
Stinkbugs disappeared quickly in the US? We still have them in Europe... I'm on the fence whether I'd want to trade out stinkbugs with these...
No, they haven't. I'm in the US and killed one last night.
Time to go Will Smith on them Lantern Flys. 😂
Cats like them.
“Will we ever be rid of them?’
😄😅 probably not
I love killing laternflies
You never know - there's still hope. We've successfully rendered isolated mosquito populations sterile
i just encountered them for the 1st time in RVA.
We have so many in Delaware 🐞
*PETA* Approved 💯
I seen several small birds walk right past them. So strange.
They're everywhere in pittsburgh

Hmm never seen one
Rip new york for 1000 nymps lanternsflys
Sticky traps are awful, dont use them. Too much bycatch
Oh yeah, I wouldn't have thought of that until it was too late. Great heads up!
what would you suggest?
What does that mean?
Sticky traps could work if there is a mesh panel on top of it so other animals like birds or squirrels don't get caught on them.
They are hybridizing already I seen some in stars that looked little different
They were literally non existent here in NYC 4 years ago all of a sudden boom within the past year or 2 here they are it's annoying 😂😂
The baby ones are the ones I see
I know rhere are animals and bugs that are bad for us but i still feel bad killing them 😢
If you really feel bad, then think about how they're ruining your plants and your country plants.

I'm guessing it's an invasive species
Invasive species that can do some serious damage to trees.
Looks like most of US has no idea either 😂

wait why are the laternflies bad? are they an invasive species?
Extremely, indigenous to China and Vietnam.

Saw one yesterday in Toledo Ohio
Today me and my family went to this “mini city” and we saw THOUSANDS of them
Shout out to west coast cause we don’t have these
Iv never seen them in the gulf either
Never seen them in the Midwest.
You will have them eventually 😅, my friends in Colombia said they have them also 😭😬😂
Hopefully we won't. but they have been spreading west with every year. they get closer and infect more states
@@ndiesel11 praying the east coast will take them out before they spread
Surely just ask the streamies what there rules are about it???
maybe shouldve had context for why or what these bugs are. seems like a city coast people problem
Not just a coast problem... they are moving into the Midwest, it's currently the entire Northeast Corridor.
These insects are bad news. Take them out whenever u can.
What. Month does laten flys dont be here anymore
There harmless
Pesky bee
Are they invasive or something?
Yes. But edible for plenty of native birds. Free food I guess.
I still think theyre pretty lol
There's no way I'd ruin my shoes with those things. When not spraying them, I scream and run.

Just cut down all the trees lol
Yuck
Kinda felt bad for that bug. None of them ever saw what was coming. Especially the one that got stomped out of existence. 😅😂

This is a war crime according to Peta.
Imagine the same video in another dimension were your replace the bug by us...

Exist.
they are invasive and have no predators. think next time
And have been doing billions of dollars in damage annually to agriculture...
whats your problem? if theyre not harming anybody then stop killing them
They're an invasive species killing native species of trees and other plants.
Destroying the ecosystem
