Yeesh!!

Yeah, that sounds a lot like what I'm used to dealing with when it comes to cicadas, except in this case it's like an actual ecosystem problem and not just... screaming bugs. I don't think the lanternflies have reached DC yet but if they're in NJ it seems like only a matter of time. Though with how much the temperatures have been dropping the last few days, maybe the cold will wipe them out? Not sure how chilly it is up there compared to here.
