Spotted Lanternfly
This bug may be beautiful, but you have the permission of many experts to murder it on sight. The spotted lanternfly was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014 and has rapidly spread across the Northeast. They grow up to an inch (3 centimeters) long and have speckled front wings and red hind wings with black spots. They’re not a risk to you, but they are a huge concern for agriculture. When they eat crops, the bugs excrete a goop called honeydew that creates a film on crops, reducing yields. They also harm trees, drinking their sap and leaving them dry and weakened.
