The beautiful and invasive Spotted Lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is all over the news, sidewalks, and trees, in the Mid-Atlantic States. Native to China, first detected in Pennsylvania in September 2014. Hops to a new location when threatened, revealing a pair of bright red underwings. The USDA fears it could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard, and logging industries. Cute, though.

Just a pair of tourist shots. This one is an artsy composite of two nearly identical images, removing a photobomber who walked across the scene, standing in different places in the two photos. Also cloned out an inessential child and adjusted the curves.
Look at the other one for a cute kid.

Look at the other one for a juiced-up closer view of the art.
