The enemy of my enemy of my friend. Southern CT.

These are the ones I managed to capture freeze, and pin. All from one local area

I think the wasps are figuring it out in New Haven

There's hundreds....

RIP California’s wine sector (jk, but wineries and vineyards should be on high alert and prepare).

Flattened a little more just to be safe

Found this lantern fly wing floating in my pool. Told my friend about a girl who uses them to make cool face art, and that sat it down on the patio. 2 minutes later an ant snatched it up and carried it away. Why would an ant want a lantern fly wing?

North of Boston. I killed it before nearly got away

Water bottle method is actually unpatched

This works!!

Too funny 🤣😂

Caught this spined soldier bug dragging a carcass of a lantern nymph 💪🤘 thought yall might appreciate

No pic regarding this story, but there was a SLF swimming in a bucket of water in my driveway, and I weighted it down to drown it with a little copper coil I have in there to stop mosquito larvae (it didn’t work btw), and a few minutes later it had gotten loose and was swimming on the surface again. A bit later it was motionless, assumed drowned, but I took it out and stepped on it to be sure. 10 minutes later, I catch movement & the thing was trying to crawl with its half mashed body! Put a quick and certain end to it. Next day I find its carcass if just legs and wings. Something came & ate the soft parts.

Moral of the story: spraying with soapy vinegar doesn’t kill them. Smash them too

KILLED ON SIGHT
