Reply to comment by AbazabaYouMyOnlyFren in One possible benefit of this crazy cold? Kill the Lanternfly eggs?!🙏 by dross99

Killing of trees aside, why they gotta leap on me when I least expect it? That freaks a motherfucker out. And it's not like they can drink my blood or sting me for fun. So why?

Lantern flies: stop jumping on me, learn to eat poison ivy and lawn weeds, and we can be happy together.

They don't really fly (they can glide somewhat) so hitching a ride on other things is how they spread.

They literally scare the shit out of me. The way they clump together in groups of hundreds on windows, like leave me alone!

Same here. Seems like they always jump on your back too. Fuckers!

I vibe hard with both of these comments.

Everyone is so crazy “KILL THEM” and you two are just like “hey man, chill out let’s work something out” and “you know if they do die that’s fine, I like evergreens 🌲 “
