      Did you kill them all??? Sure I’ll be down voted, but I hope you did! Not good bugs.

    2. They like to all gather on this one tree in my backyard. Coincidentally, my brother happens to quite enjoy shooting his air shotgun.

    3. I really don’t know how to explain this but here it goes, scrolling down the feed and glancing at the minimised image of these flies they looked like a group of goth girls stand over each other in fishnet leggings. I don’t know why my brain did that.

    4. Couple months ago before i knew they were kill on sight i saw maybe 200 huddled on 4 different trees at a disc golf field

    5. So, I forgot all about these pests, didn’t see any this season, but one day I saw a guy walking his dog stomping the ground and suddenly remembered them. Did we win the war against the lantern fly?

      I did have one fall on me like a week after that, it was disgusting.

    6. If you don’t kill them immediately and with prejudice they will decimate the entire local flora and then come for your children next!!!!

    7. I know you’re supposed to kill these suckers on sight but they seem just big enough for me to be eeked out by squishing them. Little spiders in my house? Not a problem. Squishing a house centipede? 😱

      They’re not even that harmful. People are just falling into the hype cause you’re all sheep.

    9. The place I mountain bike at has trees with literally hundreds of those little bastards on them. I’d try to kill them but it’s beyond pointless. On one ride I probably pass thousands of them.
