  They really are a beautiful insect. Too bad me seeing them around is scary.

      Doesn’t detract from the fact that they are beautiful. These are just as valid in their existence as monarchs. It’s easier, though, to kill things that you label as bad. I do it too. But human activity has made the monarch more pitiable and the lanternfly more hated. These insects are just trying to exist. It is our activity that has caused the problems. Sometimes we must remind ourselves of that, even though we must kill the invasives.
