The lanternfly, or Lycorma delicatula, is an insect you want to get rid of immediately if you spot it. Originating in China, it was first seen in the U.S. in Pennsylvania in 2014. Since then, it has spread, causing significant agricultural and ecological damage. Lanternflies feed on the sap of many plants and trees, weakening them and causing sooty mold due to the sticky honeydew they excrete. This mold further harms the plant by inhibiting photosynthesis.

I was fired from my job the same day my wife said, “You’re worthless. I’m taking the kids.” Crushed, I wandered into a diner just to clear my head. An old man sat down next to me, studied my face, and said, “You look just like my son. But he’s been missing for 35 years.” His next five words changed everything.
The old man was shaking when he sat down across from me, and for one second I thought he might be having a medical emergency. He wasn’t. He was looking…
