Spotted lanternflies have stunning coloring (Credit: aphis.usda.gov)

To the untrained eye, the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) may look like a beautiful butterfly. The insect's front wings are light brown with black spots, while its hind wings have contrasting patches of red and black with a white band in between. However, the spotted lanternfly is a pest that feasts on and damages crops. It poses a serious threat to farmers across America.

            That is harmful! But I still don't want ALL of these butterflies wiped off of Earth... they are still living creatures after all! Just decrease the number of them, but leave a few! Its kinda mean, too... and because every time they are killed every time they are seen, they might be pretty stressed about it! We have to give them a chance!🦋

              These aren't butterflies! These are pests, and though they may seem pretty, masses of them can damage farms that produce the fruit and veggies YOU eat! Trust me, if they weren't as indirectly harmful to humans as they are now, people would love to have them around!
