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.

At 2 p.m., in the middle of a company meeting, I nervously checked the bedroom camera to see how my wife and our two-week-old son were doing. She was still frail from a life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage, and what I saw made my heart stop. My mother was ruthlessly snatching the baby from her arms and shoving her toward the kitchen, even though her surgical wound had barely begun to heal. My mother hissed, ‘Blood loss is no excuse for a dirty house; get up and scrub the floor.’ As my wife collapsed in pain, clutching her stitches, I walked out of the meeting, called a locksmith, and vowed that my mother would never set foot in our home again.
My wife, Sarah, had just crawled back from the brink of death after a catastrophic childbirth. The doctor’s orders were absolute: total bed rest. Her internal stitches were so fragile…
