Although the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is called a fly and looks like a moth, it is neither. It is of the order Hemiptera, and like other members of its clan—aphids, cicadas, stink bugs, scales, bed bugs—it has piercing-sucking mouthparts.⁠ Indeed, spotted lanternflies are sapsuckers extraordinaire, as well as swarm feeders, and highly successful invaders. Native to Asia, spotted lanternflies were first found in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014 and have spread to at least 14 states in less than 10 years. (Photo by Stefani L. Cannon)
